  Holland international striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar could be set for an imminent move to Manchester United from Ajax, according to reports.

  The 24-year-old is one of European football's major transfer targets this summer after a prolific three-and-a-half years with the Dutch Eredivisie giants.

  Ajax are now ready to sell Huntelaar to the highest bidder after confirming the capture of Serbian starlet Miralem Sulejmani for £12.9million - a record fee between Dutch clubs.

  Sulejmani is following in the footsteps of Huntelaar in switching from Heerenveen, and in turn Huntelaar is keen to emulate the career of Ruud van Nistelrooy, who made a successful switch from his native Holland to United in 2001.

  Van Nistelrooy went on to score 150 goals in fewer than 200 starts during his Old Trafford career, and Huntelaar's pedigree suggests he could make the same impact in the Premier League.

  United are yet to make a major summer signing and are now expected to move quickly in an attempt to secure Huntelaar for a fee of around £20million.

  Huntelaar Favours Old Trafford Move

  Huntelaar is one of the most sought-after commodities in this transfer window, with Real Madrid also competing for his signature.

  The striker’s Ajax departure now looks imminent after the Amsterdam club smashed the Dutch transfer record with the signing of Miralem Sulejmani from Heerenveen.

  Ajax have slapped a £20 million price tag on Huntelaar’s head, which could deter potential suitors. However, the player is adamant that a move to Old Trafford would be his preference.

  Huntelaar has an outstanding scoring record for Ajax, with 70 goals in just over 80 league appearances for the club. He has also netted eight strikes in 13 international outings.

  He now hopes to emulate his Oranje team-mate Ruud Van Nistelrooy, who spent five fruitful seasons at Manchester United.

  He told the Dutch media: "I love clubs with great history like Ajax. I also love United. It`s a club that makes me dream, especially as Ruud van Nistelrooy played there and did great things with them.

  “I know certain English clubs are following me, like Manchester United, who are very interested in me."
