Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for Harry Kane following the striker's goalscoring exploits for Tottenham, but have been given some advice on their striker search
Former Manchester United midfielder Kleberson believes Richarlison would be perfect in Erik ten Hag's team. Swapping Everton for Tottenham in the summer in a £60million deal, the Brazil international has yet to find his top form in north London.
"I'd really like to see Richarlison play for Man Utd," said Kleberson, when speaking to OLBG. "He's the kind of striker that could help United a lot. Especially with teams pressing, he can do a low block, he can put pressure on the centre-back and he can get inside the box.
"He's played in the Premier League for many years, he understands the rules and he's a really hard-working player. As Man Utd get more structure and consistency, winning more games, I think Richarlison is a player who could do a lot for the club."
"When Richarlison was at Everton, I think he should have gone to Manchester United instead of Tottenham. It could have been different," added the 2002 World Cup winner. "Now he doesn't play much and he doesn't get many opportunities. He's competing with guys at Tottenham who are amazing players. He's on the bench, but he's competing with these big players.
"As a club, sometimes you need to take a risk because he's not a bad player, he's an amazing player. He plays for Brazil's national team, he just needs game time and some confidence from the coach and the team. I believe he could easily do an amazing job for United."
