United Bidding For Berbatov

Spurs frontman Dimitar Berbatov is supposedly a target for the Red Devils. With the stories appearing in the papers, it seems that we may well see Berbatov in the red.
United are believed to be mounting a serious pursuit for the stricker, however their £24 million offer is below Tottenham's valuation of £30 million for the 27 year old.

Now, I do not doubt the Bulgarian's striking abilities but the price is making me have reservations as to wheather United should attempt to sign Berbatov. £24 million these days for a a striker of his calibre is a fair price, however £30 million for a 27 year old seems to be asking a lot. For that amount of money United could be investing in a young talent such as Dutch forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

My preferance would be Huntelaar. But Berbatov would not be a bad aquisition either, he has scored 27 goals for Tottenham over the last two season and established himself in the Premier League as a competent goal scorer. As long as United do not pay over the odds for him, I would not mind seeing him play for the Red Devils.

Let me know what you think.
