Santa Cruz reveals United interest

Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz has warned Rovers fans he could be the next high-profile departure for Manchester.

Manager Mark Hughes has already left Ewood Park to take over at Manchester City this week and Cruz has revealed he could soon be wearing the red of their rivals United.

"The interest from Manchester United is real," the Paraguay striker said. "But I'm busy now so my representatives will handle anything if there is a concrete offer."

The 26-year-old scored 23 goals in all competition for Rovers last season following his arrival from Bayern Munich, including 19 in the Barclays Premier League.
