Manchester United remain in the frame for want-away Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o.

The Daily Star says reports in the Spanish media claim he has rejected a new two-year Barca deal.

The 28-year-old’s likely destination appears to be Manchester City or United.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is a big admirer of Eto’o and is willing to use a large chunk of the £80m Cristiano Ronaldo cash to sign the former Real Mallorca man.

But Eto’o may yet head for Eastlands – if City meet his huge wage demands.
