#1 Red Devils urged to sign Kalidou Koulibaly

Kalidou Koulibaly has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford

Former Manchester United star David May has urged his teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to splash the cash on Kalidou Koulibaly if he becomes available. The 27-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford and May feels that the asking price should not be the stumbling block in any attempt made to sign him.

“If you look at United over the last God knows how many years they’ve always gone out and broke transfer records if need be."

“They did with Rio [Ferdinand], [Angel] Di Maria, [Paul] Pogba, [Romelu] Lukaku. They allegedly pay [Alexis] Sanchez half a million a week."

“If you want the best players then you have to pay top money for them. City do it. Liverpool did it with Van Dijk and just look at the transformation."

“They spent £70 million on a goalkeeper, which is a hell of a lot of money but what that gets you back is guaranteed Champions League football and the possibility of winning the Premier League."

David May also spoke about the financial muscle of other European heavyweights and how they would fork out the asking price to sign the defender.

“The amount of money United earn then to spend £100m on a defender….so what?"

“Real Madrid will spend it. Barca will. Chelsea and City will. If it guarantees you a much better defence then go ahead and spend it."

“If Koulibaly becomes available – and there are rumours that he is interested with a fee of £90m – then I’m sure Ole would say he’d be a great signing for Man Utd.”
