Suarez eyes United move

Uruguay's controversial World Cup star Luis Suarez admits he could be tempted to leave Ajax if Manchester United or Barcelona come calling.

The 23-year-old striker, who was sent off during Uruguay's quarter-final encounter against Ghana due to his controversial handball, scored a massive 49 goals in 48 games for the Dutch club last season.

But despite being happy at Ajax, Suarez says an offer from a high-profile club such as United could sway him towards a move.

"Manchester United and Barcelona are the elite clubs in Europe," Suarez told the Daily Star Sunday.

"If they call, you listen. I would only leave Ajax for a team in that category."

Suarez is eligible to play in the World Cup final should Uruguay win their last-four match after being handed a one-match ban by FIFA on Saturday.
