Man Utd Transfer News: Burak Yilmaz Eyed For Old Trafford Switch?

burak yilmaz Galatasaray€™s run to the Champions League Quarter Finals has been partly down to the huge contribution of Turkish striker Burak Yilmaz. His 8 Champions League goals has attracted many suitors and according to The Express, Manchester United are just one of them. Yilmaz has been in sensational form this season, his 8 goals in the Champions League are paired with 18 in the Turkish league, making him one of the hottest properties in European football. Only joining Galatasaray a year a go, he is apparently available for as little as £10 million, putting several clubs on red alert. Manager Fatih Terim is not confident of keeping hold of his top scorer:
€œIt's not going to be easy to keep him. He has targets but it will be his decision. Being wanted is a good thing, but we are fond of him and believe he will do great things for us in the future."
Yilmaz€™s form has seen Galatasary top of the league as well as facing Real Madrid in a huge Champions League Quarter Final for the club. He is also keeping recent signings Sneijder and Drogba in the shadows, no mean feat. Terim speaks very highly of Yilmaz€™s ability as a goalscorer comparing him to Andrei Schevchenko:
€œAndriy Shevchenko was the same. He is always thinking about scoring one more goal. Loving football is very important. I think he is going to get better and better."
Manchester United have already reportedly watched the 27 year old already and Arsenal and Liverpool are also meant to be interested. Where would he fit in at Manchester United? Would you want him at Old Trafford? Is £10 million a bargain? Would his arrival spell the end for Wayne Rooney or Danny Welbeck? Comments welcome below.
