The Manchester United boss had his eye on the Dutchman
before he joined the La Liga side from Ajax in January.
But Huntelaar, 25, has struggled to make an impact
after scoring 113 goals in 136 games in Holland.
He failed to make Real's Champions League squad. And he
has fallen further down the pecking order following the arrivals of
Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Karim Benzema.
Now Fergie, who had the player scouted all last year,
is ready to make a new bid to land him after losing out on
Benzema.
United will have to match the £20m Madrid paid for the
hitman.
An Old Trafford source said: "Huntelaar is somebody we
have known about for a good while. There was more than a passing
interest last time out."
