Manchester United To Return To Real Madrid For Huntelaar - Reports

Sir Alex is seemingly set to sign a player surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu...

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Real Madrid (Peace Cup 2009)
Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson is set to do more business with Real Madrid in his search for a striker.

Ferguson has been searching for a goalscorer to replace Cristiano Ronaldo who he sold to Real for a world record £80 million.

Reports in The Metro suggest the United boss is set to make a bid for Dutch striker Klass Jan Huntelaar, after being knocked back by both Karim Benzema and Franck Ribery.

Lyon striker Benzema is set to complete a £30m move to the Bernabeu and winger Ribery told L'Equipe if he is to leave Bayern Munich that Real would be his only destination.

With Valencia striker David Villa seeming to prefer a move to Barcelona, Ferguson has been forced to lower his targets. Huntelaar is deemed surplus to requirements at Real, so a move for the striker could cause some embarrassment for Ferguson and his club.

Former Real Madrid and Liverpool striker, Michael Owen is set to complete a free transfer to United after his contract expired at relegated Newcastle United, but Ferguson will be looking for another goalscorer in addition to this after also losing Carlos Tevez this summer.
