Man United told to complete 'brilliant' Memphis Depay signing as agreement reached - pundit
Paul Robinson has told Man United to make a last-minute U-turn on signing Wout Weghorst.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and England number one said the Red Devils should instead make a move for Barcelona forward Memphis Depay.
According to Sky Sports (11 January), Manchester United have a "deal in principle in place" with Burnley to sign striker Weghorst.
However, United must wait for the termination of the striker's loan deal at Besiktas before completing the transfer.
According to Spanish outlet Sport (6 January), Depay is interested in a return to Old Trafford this month.
Robinson claimed Depay "is a miles better player" than Weghorst.
"It stinks of a club that is in limbo," he told Football Insider.
"Look, Weghorst fits the bill. He will do a job. He is a number nine, a target man and a handful.
"But, where are Man United shopping? They need to sign a top striker. Weghorst seems to be a stop-gap. This is a player who Burnley have allowed to leave. He is a very good player but is he a Man United player, no.
"He is a striker and they need a striker but he's not world-class.
"They should be going for Depay. Depay is a miles better player then Wehorst. There should not be a choice. Depay would be a brilliant signing for Man United.
"I'm sure the fans would rather have Depay back because it is a different Depay to the one that left."
