According to speculation, the Iron are one of three clubs to have offered Toumani Diagouraga a contract.
The former-Leeds and Brentford midfielder had been reported to be on trial with the Iron for around a week.
According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, United face competition to sign the player from Aberdeen and Bury.
Aberdeen, Scunthorpe & Bury make offers for former Leeds man Toumani Diagouraga. #lufc #aberdeenfc #iron #buryfc https://t.co/IIF40ideId— Pete O’Rourke (@SportsPeteO) September 5, 2017
The deadline day signing of Andrew Crofts bolstered the Iron’s midfield ranks, which may suggest the club will pull out of the race to sign the Diagouraga – But a move should certainly not be ruled out, if the most recent rumours are to be believed.
