Klaas Jan Huntelaar's agent has claimed the £16m-rated Ajax striker would jump at the chance to join Manchester United.

The 24-year-old has finished top scorer in Holland for two of the last three seasons and appears set to be the latest starlet to leave the Amsterdam club for a top European league.

Ajax are talking about retaining his services but with clubs like United on the lookout for a centre forward this summer speculation has already started - with his price-tag rumoured to be £16million.

Huntelaar's agent Arnold Oosterveer told the Daily Express: "Klaas could make the step up to a top-level club in Europe this summer. He likes English football and watches The Premier League.

"Of course he would love to join United. He wants to make the next step.

"A player who scores 33 goals in one season is interesting for every top club," added Oosterveer. "Real Madrid are looking at him, as are a number of other European clubs."
