Former Chelsea Midfielder Craig Burley Names One Nigerian Player Manchester United Should Sign

• Victor Boniface is becoming one of the most sought-after strikers in the world
• The Nigerian international has continued to paint the German Bundesliga with goals
• Former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley has urged Manchester United to consider making a move for the forward

A former Chelsea Football Club midfielder, Craig Burley, has urged Manchester United to sign Nigerian international Victor Boniface.

The 22-year-old is in incredible form, having scored 14 goals in 20 matches for Bayer Leverkusen in all competitions so far this season.

He recently won his fourth consecutive Rookie Player of the Month Award in the current campaign.

As Manchester United continue to struggle in front of goal this season, Burley believes Boniface could help the Red Devils solve the problem of the attack.

The Old Trafford outfit signed Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta in the summer, but the Danish international has yet to hit the ground running since he arrived.

Ex-Chelsea star Burley suggested to United to consider signing Boniface. He told ESPN FC Extra Time:

"I think they need to bring in somebody to take some weight off Rasmus Hojlund because Martial is a waste of space. I don’t know if they’d be looking at someone like Boniface from Leverkusen. But we are talking about the summer here."
