Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has urged the club to sign Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa.
Ferdinand said the 29-year-old striker has experience and would be a good addition for the younger strikers at Man United.
Watkin has been linked with a move to the Red Devils this summer.
Man United have already signed the likes of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha and are still keen to add more firepower upfront.
Speaking on his Rio Ferdinand Presents YouTube channel, the former England defender said: “I think he [Watkins] would be a very, very good addition to the Manchester United squad.
“He is 29; that is the only drawback for Manchester United. There is not going to be any sell-on value, which I understand is an issue.
“Manchester United needs experience at the top of the pitch. They have got Hojlund, Zirkzee and Chido… young, inexperienced players.
Watkins netted 17 goals and provided 14 assists in 54 appearances for Aston Villa last season.
