Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson believes Southampton and England ace James Ward-Prowse would be an ideal signing for Manchester United this summer amid ongoing speculation about his future.
The central midfielder, who has established a reputation for being the Premier League's free-kick specialist, is being closely linked with several clubs following the opening of the summer transfer window. He enjoyed a stellar 2021/22 campaign for the Saints, scoring 11 goals and notching eight assists in all competitions.
The 27-year-old has been linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks, as United manager Erik ten Hag looks to beef up his midfield options ahead of the new season starting in just seven weeks' time. The club is being linked with a plethora of central-midfielders, including leading target Frenkie de Jong and Denmark international Christian Eriksen.
