Jurgen Klopp has been tipped to make an unthinkable move and replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United.

Amorim was responsible for United's worst ever Premier League season as they finished 15th on 42 points and were beaten by Spurs in the Europa League final in Bilbao.

Though he has a win percentage of just 38.1%, the Portuguese manager has still been kept on by United and is being backed in the transfer market - starting with the £62.5 million signing of Mateus Cunha from Wolves.

Amorim will be judged by United's top brass on how he starts the season but former Arsenal defender Martin Keown has already decided that Amorim may not be the right fit for the Old Trafford hotseat.

In fact, Keown urged the club to appoint Liverpool's legendary manager Klopp, who took the team from mediocrity and turned them into Champions League and Premier League winners.

Klopp left a year ago and signed on to become Head of Global Football with Red Bull, but Keown believes he would do "an incredible" job at United despite it being very unlikely that such an agreement would happen.

"The number of games they've lost, I'm still concerned that this is maybe not the right manager for Manchester United," he said on talkSPORT.

"It's going to be a very interesting start to the season, they could do a lot worse than to go and get Jurgen Klopp to manage their football club.

"I'm not trying to sensationalise, I believe he might do an incredible job there. They need somebody with more experience than the current manager."

"Why not? He's done it once before. We're comparing their journey now. He's done it once before."

Klopp, whose former assistant Pep Lijnders will assist Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, has said he will never manage another Premier League club.

Man United told to sell Bruno Fernandes immediately

That wasn't the only controversial opinion Keown expressed on the show with Jim White and Simon Jordan. He called for United to cash in on captain Bruno Fernandes, who has a lucrative offer on the table from Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal.

Conversations are going between Al Hilal and Fernandes' representative Miguel Pinha, with the Sporting CP man potentially earning around £700,000-a-week.

With Al Hilal prepared to offer around £100 million, Keown has told United to take the money.

"Manchester United, I believe need to sell Bruno Fernandes," he stated.

"I don't believe, when they get to where they want to get to - and you look at PSG now for the blueprint for how you play - he's not going to be able to press like you're seeing [Ousmane] Dembele press.

"And the way their midfield is together. He's the icing on the cake player but even at the end, finished product, I don't think he'll be good enough for Manchester United. Sell him now."

According to Ben Jacobs, Fernandes has a strict deadline to respond to the offer as Al Hilal have given him seven days so that they can sign him on for the upcoming Club World Cup tournament.

Al Hilal are allowed to sign players until 10 June as part of a special transfer window for participating clubs.
