Man Utd target STAR STRIKER

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal will look to land the services of Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke following the stunning capture of Bayern Munich's Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The Belgian international is keen on a switch away from Villa Park this summer, as he seeks to play for a top Premier League club.

Liverpool have stalled talks on the talented marksman with the Villains unwilling to lower their £32m asking price.

The Sun now claims that United could make a surprise swoop for the former Genk star during the summer transfer window.

Benteke was in top form for the Villains in the back end of last season, and this helped them beat the drop.
