Eto’o in limbo as United shun bid

SAMUEL ETO’O’S hopes of a big-money move to the Premier League appear to be dwindling.

After Manchester City publicly ended their attempts to sign the Barcelona forward on a massive contract last Friday, neighbours United have now distanced themselves from offering Eto’o an exit from the Nou Camp as well.

It had been suggested the Red Devils were ready to offer Eto’o wages in the region of £150,000-a-week to bolster their striking options.
