Mahrez is reportedly keen on leaving Leicester this month after a fine start to the season for the Foxes.
Serie A giants Roma are linked with his signature as are Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal.
ESPN FC reporter Alexis Nunes asked Hislop whether a move to Old Trafford would be better for Mahrez than signing for Arsenal.
“Riyad Mahrez, we touched on this a little bit in relation to Arsenal,” she said.

You’re not going to get me to say whether United is a better destination than Arsenal
“Would Manchester United be a better destination for him?”

However, he refused to say whether it would be a wiser move than a switch to play under Wenger at Arsenal.
“I’m going to say it’s going to be a good destination,” the former West Ham goalkeeper said.
