Huntelaar eyes United move

3:24pm Sunday 6th July 2008

Ajax striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar claims Manchester United are "very interested" in signing him.

The 24-year-old's failure to agree a new contract at the Amsterdam ArenA has led to speculation he could be in line for a move, and the Holland frontman reckons the English champions are keen to acquire his services.

"I know certain English clubs are following me, like Manchester United, who are very interested in me," he told Dutch reporters.

Huntelaar added: "I love clubs with great history like Ajax, I also love Manchester United.

"It's a club that makes me dream, especially as Ruud van Nistelrooy played there and did great things with them."
