Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke believes that Erik ten Hag’s side need to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton.
The 21-year-old Ecuadorian midfielder is one of the most coveted players in the league, and Brighton are reportedly keen to sell him for offers only close to £100 million.
That has left few clubs with the resources to buy him, but Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United have all been linked.
Yorke was speaking to BoyleSports who offer the latest Premier League odds here, and told the website that he thinks Caicedo is needed because United lack strength in depth in midfield.
He said: “Price tags are ridiculous in football now, it is what it is, but Moises Caicedo is a damn good player and had a great season for Brighton.
“It wouldn't be a surprise to see Man United sign him because he plays in a position that we need more depth in.
“You see the change in quality when Casemiro comes out of the team due to suspension or injury, we don't look the same.”
Yorke is impressed by the youngster’s all-round game, adding: “Caicedo would give that energy in the midfield, he's very functional in the directiveness of his play and he's also aggressive and a great tackler. I'm not surprised to see Chelsea are in for him too.”
