Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke says Real Madrid's Gareth Bale is what the club needs to challenge for next season's Premier League crown.
One of the league's best players when at Tottenham Hotspur, the Wales international has failed to live up to expectations after moving to the Spanish Liga and could be tempted by a move back to England.
"I would get Gareth Bale in, that's what United need, a player who will just take the ball and run," Yorke told The Sun.
"He's British, he's exciting, he's quick, fast, he goes past people and that will lift everyone going forward.
"That would excite everybody. And he will be loved here, he will be far more appreciated because the people here know what to expect.
"The Spanish are hard people, they are used to the likes of Romario and Ronaldo — the dribblers with the silky skills.
"In all fairness, Bale is not silky — he is a powerhouse with great pace and that's best for England.
"When he is in full flow he is one of the best in the world.
"That's why Madrid paid all the money for him. If I was signing one player for United this summer, it would be him."
The 25-year-old has an estimated transfer market value of £85.3m.
