United are planning to hit Blackburn with a £15million bid for towering striker Roque Santa Cruz. Boss Alex Ferguson has earmarked the Paraguay international as United’s main summer signing. Fergie sees Santa Cruz, 26, as the big man who Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney can feed off. The United boss has given up on Louis Saha playing that role after a succession of injuries. The club is looking to sell. Fergie has also had to give up on an audacious bid to land Barcelona top scorer Thierry Henry, who was persuaded he still has a major role to play at the Nou Camp. Rovers will be desperate to keep their main striker. But with manager Mark Hughes on the way to Manchester City they will struggle to hold their prize asset.

Great! I love Santa Cruz, and think he'll be a great addition to the squad. In fact, he's in the mould of the striker we've been looking for. We lost Torres to Pool, and I don't want Berbatov, so this is like music to my ears. I don't think anyone has got the best out of Santa Cruz as yet. At Bayern, he was an extra, and though he's been good at Rovers, I think he can do yet better. He's good in the air, can control the ball well, is not a slouch when it's at his feet, and generally, I think he's a player who's very aware of what's going on around him, which of course, is perfect for us!
Cheers!
