Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz is being linked with a move to MLS club DC United. The 29-year old Paraguay international is currently of favour at City and reports suggest that United are showing considerable interest.

Santa Cruz still has three years left on his Manchester contract which would make things difficult for United who would have to pay at least $2.5million a season for his services.

The ex-Bayern Munich man left Blackburn Rovers to join City for $28million last summer and almost joined Italian outfit Lazio in the recent transfer window.

It seems a longshot but reports suggest the interest is there from DC, although it is not quite clear just how genuine it is.
