Manchester United Told to Sign Richarlison Months After £60M Flop Joined Tottenham

• Tottenham signed Brazilian forward Richarlison for £60m to add options to their attack
• The former Everton player has scored only one goal and is yet to find the net in the Premier League
• Manchester United have been advised to sign him as he is the right profile for their new-look attack

Tottenham Hotspur splashed £60m to sign Brazilian forward Richarlison from Everton in the summer to bolster their attack and provide cover for Harry Kane. The deal could potentially rise to £60m.

He has been grossly underwhelming for Antonio Conte's side. He has scored only one goal for the club and is yet to score in a Premier League goal in March.

A compatriot has now advised the former Watford player to quit North London and also advised Manchester United to look at the possibility of signing the player as his profile fits their requirement.

Man Utd advised to sign Richarlison

As reported by Goal, Manchester United will move on six players in the summer, including French striker Anthony Martial, which indicates a new striker will probably be signed.

Richarlison, struggling since his move to Spurs, was recommended to the Red Devils by former Brazilian and Man Utd footballer Klebersen during an interview with OLBG.

''I'd really like to see Richarlison play for Man Utd. He's the kind of striker that could help United a lot. Especially with teams pressing, he can do a low block, he can put pressure on the centre-back and he can get inside the box,'' he said.

''He's played in the Premier League for many years, he understands the rules and he's a really hard-working player. As Man Utd get more structure and consistency, winning more games, I think Richarlison is a player who could do a lot for the club,'' he added.

Klebersen admits his status at Tottenham makes it difficult for any top club to consider him but asked his former club to take a risk.

''As a club, sometimes you need to take a risk because he's not a bad player, he's an amazing player. He plays for Brazil's national team, he just needs game time and some confidence from the coach and the team. I believe he could easily do an amazing job for United,'' he said.

Ferguson names Rashford's best position

Sports Brief earlier reported that legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson named Rashford's best position and claimed the 25-year-old is not a striker.

He made this known after United won the Carabao Cup at Wembley on Sunday and advised Erik Ten Hag to sign a striker in the summer.

Ferguson's former player, who played for him between 2003 and 2005, is now reiterating the Scottish manager's words and asking the club to sign his compatriot.
