Klaas Jan Huntelaar’s agent has claimed the Ajax striker would jump at the chance to join Manchester United.
Huntelaar is one of Europe’s most coveted attacking talents, as his exploits for Ajax have seen him likened to fellow Holland international Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Ajax are keen to retain the striker’s services and Huntelaar has waxed lyrical about working under Marco van Basten next term, but an offer from Old Trafford could prove too tempting to pass up.
"Klaas could make the step up to a top-level club in Europe this summer,” Huntelaar’s agent Arnold Oosterveer told the Daily Express. “He likes English football and watches The Premier League.
”Of course he would love to join United. He wants to make the next step.”
Sir Alex Ferguson has not yet finalised his summer targets, but he could face competition for Huntelaar.
”A player who scores 33 goals in one season is interesting for every top club,” added Oosterveer. “Real Madrid are looking at him, as are a number of other European clubs.”
