EPL: Go for younger players – Silvestre warns Man United against signing Italian star (dailypost.ng)

Hes fantastic whenever he plays for PSG or for the national team, but I think United has to go for younger players and build for the future.

You already have Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, who are in their early 30s, and Bruno is also approaching it soon.

So, you need younger players to build for the future, he said.

Former Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre has warned the club against signing departing PSG midfielder Marco Verratti.

The 30yearold Italy international has established himself as one of the top stars in the middle of the pitch in the world over the past decade.

He arrived at Pescara for 10 million in 2012 and has won a total of 29 trophies, including eight Ligue 1 titles in the process.

The 53cap Italy international is now a major target for the Red Devils, with Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur also interested in signing him.

Speaking to BettingExpert, Silvestre, who played for Manchester United, shared his thoughts on his former clubs pursuit of Verratti.

I like Verratti a lot as a player.
