Barcelona ace Eto'o would prefer Man Utd ahead of Man City

Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o has three major offers on the table.

El Mundo Deportivo says Inter Milan, Manchester City and Manchester United have all registered their interest with Eto'o's representatives.

The biggest offer is from City, but Eto'o is reluctant to move to Eastlands due to their lack of Champions League football.

The Cameroon international is warming to the prospect of joining United, but manager Sir Alex Ferguson's reluctance for his players to exploit their commercial value could prove a stumbling block.

After his success in the Champions League last season, African companies are queuing up to discuss endorsement deals with Eto'o. With Cameroon struggling to reach next year's World Cup in South Africa, Eto'o fears the next 12 months could be the last time to take advantage of his global profile.
