Manchester United Was Suggested Signing Roberto Firmino from Liverpool

DBasia.news – Former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson feels the Red Devils should try to sign Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino.

The Brazilian’s contract with the Reds expires in 2023 and there has been no progress in negotiations for a new contract. This could lead the club to try to sell the striker this summer.

Kleberson believes Firmino will fit perfectly with the Red Devils, who will be looking for a striker in the summer.

Quoted from the LiverpoolEcho, he said: “His style of play will suit Manchester United, especially the way he plays for Liverpool. For the Brazilian national team, he plays higher, but for Liverpool he is a little deeper.

“He learned a lot from Jurgen Klopp and he is very smart on the pitch. His movement to create space, or sometimes occupy space, allows his team-mates to take advantage of him.

“If Manchester United want to make a change, he is a good player who can help, especially with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho on the wings. Firmino can help those players create spaces when they attack.

“That’s the type of player Man United have to look at. A player of his quality can help let the team go. He’s a great player and he would fit in, and a great signing for Man United.”

Bobby, as he is known, joined the Merseyside club in 2015 from Hoffenheim for around £29 million. Since then, he has scored 96 goals and provided 73 assists in 318 appearances for the club in all competitions.
