Man Utd Transfer News (26 Jun 09) Huntelaar Benzema

Klaas Jan Huntelaar is the latest big-name striker to be linked with a move to Manchester United. With attempt to lure Karim Benzema to Old Trafford looks fraught with difficulty, it is not a shock either that it has been suggested a move for Huntelaar by Sir Alex Ferguson is on the cards.

Sir Alex Ferguson took another step towards the £30m capture of striker Karim Benzema. But Manchester United could yet face fierce competition from bitter ­transfer market rivals Real Madrid. Lyon opened the door to the sale of prize asset Benzema by making a £15m move for Porto striker Lisandro Lopez. It is a clear indication that Lyon ­president Jean-Michel Aulas is preparing to cash in on his 21-year-old star.

Manchester United will have to fork out big to land Douglas Costa. The Reds wanted to take the 18-year-old Brazilian on trial before making a decision on him, but Gremio insist the £18million-rated forward is too good for such a proposal.
