Man United Urged to Complete Transfer of Top Chelsea Star

• Paul Parker contends Antonio Rudiger would be ‘absolutely perfect’ for Man United
• The Germany international is out of contract in June and is yet to commit his future to Chelsea
• He has already courted interest from top European clubs including PSG and Real Madrid
• It remains to be seen if the Blues would be able to tie him to a long-term future

Man United legend Paul Parker has urged the club to complete the signing of Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger next summer.

Rudiger will be out of contract at Stamford Bridge at the end of the ongoing season but is yet to renew his deal.

The German's contract situation has seen him court interest from a number of European clubs, with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich leading the hunt for his services.

Parker, who spent five years at Old Trafford has now urged United to launch a move of their own for the centre-back.

Parker contends a potential partnership between Rudiger and Raphael Varane at United's heart of defence could help the Red Devils challenge for the title again.

“To come to Manchester United, I would say that is ambitious. I would understand why he would want to and I think he would make a difference," the ex-England ace told bettingexpert.

“If you had him next to Varane, what a difference you’re talking about. Good pace and you’re talking about someone who’s won a World Cup, Champions League, and then you’ve got a centre-half, who in the old-school way of talking is actually a leader," he added.
