Manchester United have been told to make a move for Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy.
The Red Devils have made three signings so far this summer, with high-profile recruits Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho as well as the arrival of goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
Many have been calling for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to bring in a central defensive midfield player to strengthen their side but former United winger Lee Sharpe believes they need another striker.
They have Edinson Cavani, Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial as potential options through the middle and yet Sharpe reckons they ought to try and sign Vardy from Leicester.

“I definitely think they need another goal scorer, I would like them to bring in another striker, a no.9, a goal scorer who can bang in 20/25 goals a season," Sharpe told The Mirror.
"Obviously Cavani is world-class, we know he’s not going to play every game, every minute.
“The rumour mill is still floating around about Haaland potentially coming next year so that makes you think twice about bringing someone in this summer, but if United are short anywhere, it’s in the No.9 area. Someone like a Vardy, I don’t know if we will get Vardy, but I think he would be an ideal choice for a couple of seasons.”
Vardy, now 34, recently signed a new contract with the FA Cup winners until 2023.

He joined the Foxes from Fleetwood Town in 2012 for £1 million, which was a record transfer fee for a non-league player.
In 354 appearances, the former England star has scored 148 times, including 119 in the Premier League.
Vardy hit 15 in the top-flight last season and opened his account for the new campaign against Wolves last week.
