Paul Merson has risked the wrath of the Arsenal fans by suggesting Manchester United should sign Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The Gunners striker is contracted at Arsenal until the summer of 2021, and has been linked with a move away from the Emirates in recent months.
United have had something of a resurgence of late, following the signing of Bruno Fernandes, but are still in need of a world-class forward.
Aubameyang fits this billing, and would undoubtedly improve United.
And former Arsenal star Merson has suggested the Red Devils should attempt to make the transfer happen to become a "major force" once more.
"Aubameyang is what Manchester United are missing," Merson told Sky Sports. "He is a goal scorer and goal scorers are priceless.
"If you look at United and the way they played against Manchester City a couple of weeks ago, I thought they were very, very good.
"You looked at them and thought they have got a chance, especially if they could also get hold of a couple more players, especially a creative midfielder.
"You couldn't help but be impressed with their performance and if they were to sign Aubameyang and they also got someone like a Jack Grealish, are they big players?
"They would be a major force, in my opinion.
"They are crying out for someone who is going to score them 20 to 25 goals, and that's what Aubameyang can bring. He gets you 25 goals without even breaking sweat.
"Add a Grealish if they can get him and then you've got Bruno Fernandes as well playing in behind a striker, Manchester United will be a major force."
