Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o is desperate for Manchester United to come in for him.

The African ace has seen Barcelona accept an offer from Manchester City for his services, but his demands for a massive signing-on bonus has stalled the move.

Sport says United boss Sir Alex Ferguson could change the scenario entirely by making a concrete move for Eto'o. The Cameroon international would be willing to scale down his personal demands for a switch to Old Trafford.
