Gary Neville Claims Liverpool Hero 'Is A Manchester United Player'

Gary Neville is hoping Manchester United can lure another flair player to Old Trafford, next summer, while claiming a former Liverpool hero has the perfect attributes to play for United.

Jose Mourinho splashed out over £100 million during the summer transfer window. He snapped up Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof with Romelu Lukaku's signing the clubs most high profile during the window.

But even with the Belgium's addition, Neville would still like to see another world class player ply his trade at the 'Theatre of Dreams', identifying long-term target Antoine Griezmann as an ideal player.

"We can get a lot better. I'd like to see one more flair player in the team," Neville told Stretty News TV via Metro.

"I'd like to see a winger who can beat a man and get everyone on the edge of their seat. Having been in Spain for four months, I love Griezmann.

"I would love to see Griezmann at United. He's quick, he's inventive he can beat players he can score goals.

Not to mention ex-United star Cristiano Ronaldo, his teammate Gareth Bale who continues to be heavily linked with a move away from Real Madrid, as well as the worlds most expensive footballer, Neymar.

"You would love to see Cristiano [Ronaldo] and Neymar and [Gareth] Bale and people like that because you know they would light up Old Trafford."

Then naming Barcelona's Luis Suarez: "Suarez, even though he played for Liverpool, is a United player.

"It's arrogance to say that but he's fantastic. He scores goals and he's aggressive," he added.

The prolific Uruguayan spent four seasons at Anfield including a 31-goal haul in the campaign before he swapped Liverpool for Barcelona.

In the 2013/14 season, Suarez spearheaded an attack with Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturrdige, with Liverpool narrowly missing out on the Premier League title.

Though his goals for Liverpool endeared him to the Anfield faithfuls. And he's continued his incredible goal scoring form in Spain which included 59 goals during the 2015/16 season.

Will United be able to sign a Suarez-esque player, next summer?
