After a fruitless, long and painful campaign to sign Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov, Manchester United have turned their attentions to Dutch goal machine, Klass-Jan Huntelaar, according to The Independent.
Tottenham have refused to budge in their £30 million evaluation of Bebrbatov and Manchester United are unwilling to pay that much for a 27 year old striker. Instead they believe that they could get Huntelaar for less, according to the aforementioned report.
The Dutch striker has already expressed his interest in playing for a Manchester United earlier this summer claiming that: “It’s a club that makes me dream, especially as Ruud van Nistelrooy played there and did great things with them.”

Judging by the news that man utd has know focus on another player is a welcome development.Had it been that man utd are chasing two striker at the outset it would have been easy.it will be my gratest joy if man utd could sign Huntelaar ahead of Berbatov
An ambitious player like Dimitar would be making a right decision to join united were he would have an opportunity to win the laurels he desire,and i don’t think it would be right if anyone tries to stand on his way coz he really deserves playing at the very top.
United MUST bring in at least one more striker (Actually, 2 more should be better, as Saha always injured, Manucho will not get a work permit this season, and Cambell’s still not good enough for the highest level like this).
In my opinion, signing Berbatov, if success, is good, but at the moment it seems like it’s will never happen. Roque Santa Cruz’ve just signed a new four years deal with Blackburn. Huntella, for me, is still not good enough, as at the moment he’s still behind Robin Van Persie, Van Nistelrooy, Ryan Bable, etc. in the Dutch side. So, what’s are the option left?
United should go for Thierry Henry. Henry , at 31, is still quick, full of experience and maturity, and his skill and pace will no doubt benefit this young talented United side a lot. Even though he will be cup tied for the Champions League journey, but United will benefit from him a lot in Premier League as he always score goals against Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham, etc. and I ‘m sure he will score against his old side, Arsenal.
Imagine, Henry on the left and Ronaldo on the right…. Both are quick, full of pace and skill. Both are good provider and can always score goals. The signing of Henry will turn United into another level of entertaining and most dangerous football side in the world.
If United can sign one more striker (as a cover), we should go for Alfonso Alvez (Middlesbrough). This guy is full of strength, pace, power, and very good at finishing. In my opinion, if we can sign these two, no doubt, United will be the best team in the world.
