Huntelaar is one of the most
sought-after commodities in this transfer window, with Real Madrid
also competing for his signature.
The striker’s Ajax departure now looks imminent after the
Amsterdam club smashed the Dutch transfer record with the signing
of Miralem Sulejmani from Heerenveen.
Ajax have slapped a £20 million price tag on Huntelaar’s head,
which could deter potential suitors. However, the player is adamant
that a move to Old Trafford would be his preference.
Huntelaar has an outstanding scoring record for Ajax, with 70
goals in just over 80 league appearances for the club. He has also
netted eight strikes in 13 international outings.
He now hopes to emulate his Oranje team-mate Ruud Van
Nistelrooy, who spent five fruitful seasons at Manchester
United.
He told the Dutch media: "I love clubs with great history like
Ajax. I also love United. It`s a club that makes me dream,
especially as Ruud van Nistelrooy played there and did great things
with them.
“I know certain English clubs are following me, like Manchester
United, who are very interested in me."
