Liverpool legend Steve Nicol believes that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should look to sign former Tottenham striker Fernando Llorente.
Llorente left Spurs in June when his contract ended in June and he has been linked with a return to the Premier League with Manchester United.
Solskjaer has sold Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan while Alexis Sanchez could also leave for the Serie A ahead of the European transfer deadline.
And Nicol thinks the 34-year-old would offer a different option to United in attack, although the MEN understands United are not currently interested in making a move for the player.
“I think this would not be the worst idea for Man United,” Nicol told ESPN FC.
“Right now at centre-forward it’s a numbers game. They only have one and that’s Marcus Rashford.
“They don’t have another recognised centre-forward.
"Of course Llorente does give you another option.
“Man United under Solskjaer want to play attacking football, they want to keep it on the ground, they want to roll it around.
“But as I said, numbers-wise yes, and maybe even a change of direction now and again.
“I think this would be a good idea.”
