Blackburn have shown an interest in the �11m-rated 23-year-old striker, who took Ligue One by storm last term with 24 goals, but the lure of Old �Trafford is likely to prove too strong.

Lyon forward Karim Benzema tops United's shopping list, with the French club looking for a fee of around �35m.

But Valencia striker David Villa may be too expensive at �40m and Franck Ribery of Bayern �Munich looks to be heading to Real Madrid.
