Sir Alex Ferguson is weighing up a move for Inter Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Manchester United boss Fergie, who yesterday completed the £3.5million signing of Bordeaux winger Gabriel Obertan, has missed out on several of his top targets to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. Lyon striker Karim Benzema opted to join Real Madrid, while Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery revealed his desire to play in La Liga. That has left Fergie with limited options in terms of finding a forward to supply the goals without Ronaldo - despite the free signing of former England striker Michael Owen. Now Inter striker Ibrahimovic, 27, has emerged as a target, with Fergie having had the Sweden international watched on several occasions last season by his European scouts. Inter would be reluctant to sell £30m rated Ibrahimovic, twice voted Serie A Player of the Year, but sources in Italy suggest they may be persuaded by a sizeable fee.

According to The Sun, new signing Gabriel Obertan will miss United's pre-season tour of Asia because of a slight ankle injury. The same paper claims the Reds will miss out on signing Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, with the Dutch striker set for Stuttgart.
The Mirror also claims Richard Eckersley will spend all of next season on loan at Championship side QPR. The versatile defender was apparently the subject of Premier League interest, but will go to the Championship in order to gain more regular action.
