Dacourt begins talks with Roma

Roma are believed to want the French international on loan until the end of the season, before committing themselves to a more permanent move for the unsettled Dacourt.

A statement on the Leeds official website read: "Bruno Satin (Dacourt's representative) is discussing personal terms with Roma.

"As yet no fee has been agreed with United for either a permanent or a loan move that would see Dacourt relocate to the Olympic Stadium."
