Mikael Silvestre believes former side Manchester United should consider a move for Sevilla defender Jules Kounde this summer. United are set to back their next permanent manager heavily in the next transfer window, with the signing of a new centre-back a possibility at the end of the season.

Former United defender Silvestre, a stalwart of Sir Alex Ferguson's defence in the early noughties, was quizzed on United's need for a new central defender at the end of the season — and he suggested French compatriot Kounde could be worth considering.
