Man Utd join Spurs interest for Bournemouth striker Josh King

Bournemouth striker Josh King is a target for Manchester United caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Sun says he is a massive fan of fellow Norwegian King, 26, who he worked with as a youngster at Old Trafford.

Solskjaer was coaching the United reserves when the striker was coming up through the ranks, before establishing himself as a top Premier League player on the South Coast.

King is rated at £25million, but Cherries boss Eddie Howe will be desperate to keep hold of him.

Spurs are also keen on a player who netted 16 times in his first Premier League campaign with the Cherries, then struck nine times last term and five so far this season.
