Man Utd boss Ferguson getting serious about Eto'o bid
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is serious about landing Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o.
The News of the World says the Barcelona striker told club president Joan Laporta he'd be leaving the Nou Camp just hours before Manchester City ended their interest.
That left Manchester United with a clear run at the Cameroon international and they are ready to offer him a four-year deal on £150,000-a-week.
Eto'o is also seeking more money based on appearances and goals.
Agent Jose Maria Masalles said: "At 28 he wants to join a club which will give him another chance of winning trophies.
"It can't be just about money. It has to be about the sporting project."
United will make it clear they will not be kept waiting and will not increase their offer.

Eto'o come and replace tevez and win more trophies @ theatre of dreams.
Sorry everyone I didn't mean to send all those posts.
Eto'o would be a good signing but we need a playmaker more than anyone else.Utd has lacked two players last season a creative midfielder Douglas Costa and a left winger David Silva. Signing Silva would allow Rooney to play in his best position as centre foward. Costa has the talent to control United's midfield attack for years to come!.Owen Hargreaves injury problems continue we need to sign a replacement now. First choice would be Franco Zuculini of Racing. He is inexhaustable and combative a great defensive midfielder!.Second choice is Yaya Toure. We have a number of options at right back, Rafael is not yet experienced enough and the others,Brown, O'Shea are not the solution. Darijo Srna of Shakhtar Donetsk would be great.He can take the free kicks and penalties now ronaldo has gone.
