Striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar has become the third hitman in a week to snub United.
Huntelaar was reported to be high on Sir Alex’s summer wishlist but wants to stay with Ajax, where he has scored 60 goals in 74 matches overthe past two years.
“I need to progress as a player before a foreign experience,” the 23 year old Dutch forward said.
Fergie’s options are narrowing fast as the rumoured search for a striker continues. Earlier this week, ex-Chelsea attacker Eidur Gudjohnsen, now a reserve at Barcelona, ruled out a return to the Premiership.
United are in talks with Barcelona about the sale of Samuel Eto’o but the Cameroon star is said to favour a move to Liverpool if he leaves Catalonia.
And Spurs’ favourite Dimitar Berbatov, is set to break Fergie’s heart by signing a new improved contract with the north London club. Last week, the Sun newspaper claimed United were ready to offer cash-plus-Louis Saha worth £39 million for the Bulgarian goal hero.
