Manchester United should go all out to seal the transfer of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, according to Liverpool legend Graeme Souness.
The mercurial Swede is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer for free, with several clubs around Europe chasing him.
United were rumoured to have slapped a one-year deal on the table for him, although his agent Mino Raiola denied the report.
Ibrahimovic previously admitted he knows who he is joining next, while he has hinted at a move to England in the past.
And Souness believes United must do everything to try and sign him.
‘I’d certainly like to see him in the Premier League, I’m a fan of his,’ Souness told Sky Sports.
‘I look at Man United and they need a spark.
‘They need something to light a fire if they are not going to be in the Champions League.
‘I can go back to George Best and Willie Morgan on the wings to David Beckham and Ryan Giggs.
‘Ibrahimovic would give you that. He’d put you on the edge of your seat and would that stadium and that pressure overawe him? Not at all.
‘I think he could be the catalyst for United to get back to somewhere where you’re watching them play the kind of football that you associate with Manchester United – the football that got you on the edge of your seat.
‘Pay him what he wants, which would be a shed load of money and you’d certainly get one great year out of him and you might even get two great years out of him.’
