Former Manchester United winger Lee Sharpe has advised his former club to make a move for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins.
Sharpe believes the England international would be an excellent addition to United’s attack, highlighting his pace, goalscoring ability and strength in holding up the ball.
Watkins is reportedly looking to leave Aston Villa before the summer transfer window shuts next week.
The 30-year-old striker was left out of Villa’s squad for their 4-0 Premier League defeat to Brighton last weekend.
“I think he [Watkins] would be an ideal buy for Manchester United,” Sharpe told Metro.
“He holds the ball up well, he’s quick, he scores goals, and I think he would have thrived and been a great signing, and Sesko would learn so much from him,” he said.
