Manchester United told why James Ward-Prowse transfer could cost them £100m

Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker believes James Ward-Prowse will be valued at around the £100million mark by Southampton amid reports linking him a move to Old Trafford.

The England international, who will be hoping to force his way into the Three Lions' squad for the 2022 World Cup later this year, has been nothing short of outstanding for the Saints this season, proving to be a key figure in the long-term philosophy Ralph Hasenhuttl is trying to install at St Mary's. He has scored ten goals and grabbed eight assists in 39 games in all competitions this term.

Renowned for his trademark free-kicks, reported interest in the midfielder's services has soared in recent weeks, with United becoming the latest club to be linked with his signature. Signing a new midfielder is set to be a top priority for United this forthcoming summer, particularly on the defensive side of the operation.
