Man Utd must make more signings after completing deal for Arsenal target - Craig Burley
THOMAS MEUNIER would be a good signing for Manchester United - but they cannot stop there in the transfer market.
Thomas Meunier has potential to go to Man United says pundit
Those are the thoughts of former Chelsea and Celtic midfielder Craig Burley.
Paris Saint-Germain right-back Meunier is heavily linked with a move to both Manchester United and Arsenal.
Ashley Young played the majority of this season at right-back for Manchester United so it is an area they look to be keen on strengthening.
Burley claims Meunier would go a long way to solving United’s problems on the right.
It’s one of many areas of that team that has to be strengthened
But he says they must improve in plenty of other areas on the pitch as well.
“Well I haven’t got a list of players in front of me who United are targeting,” Burley said.
“But what we do know is they are targeting the right side.
“It’s one of many areas of that team that has to be strengthened.
“[Meunier has] great experience for club and country and is a natural down that right side.
“So I’m going to say this has the potential to be a hit.”
Meunier is out of contract at PSG at the end of next season.
And the Belgian has confirmed there have been discussions with other clubs.
"It's something that could suit me,” Meunier told Le Parisien.
"I don't think the club would make a lot of money from me, actually.
“I have a market value, but I'm a defender, I play one game out of three and I'm turning 28.
"There have been phone calls since January with interested clubs.
"There are a dozen clubs, all of which are in the top five of their leagues."
