Manchester United boss
Sir Alex Ferguson is eyeing Ajax
striker Luis Suarez.
The Sunday Times says Ferguson has carefully monitored
the development of the Uruguay international, who at 22 already
captains Ajax Amsterdam, having claimed 54 goals in 75 League
appearances for the Dutch club. Suarez — also a regular scorer for
his national team — has drawn comparisons to Ronaldo in his ability to play through the centre
or on either flank.
Ajax are aware of Ferguson’s interest and expect a bidding war
to develop, with Manchester
City, Internazionale and AC
Milan also involved.
Though Suarez has told Ajax he is interested in extending his
contract, the club are unconvinced and recognise that they may be
forced to sell.
“The technical management have to take this decision, but we are
prepared to consider possible good offers,” said the Ajax general
manager, Rik van den Boog. “We want to keep him until the end of
the season, but we also want to make him happy.”
