Graeme Souness believes Manchester United could do with the flair and creativity of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish striker is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer and has been linked with a move to the Premier League, and in particular Old Trafford.

Souness said on Sky Sports: "I'd certainly like to see him in the Premier League, I'm a fan of his. I look at Man United and they need a spark.

"They need something to light a fire if they are not going to be in the Champions League. I can go back to George Best and Wille Morgan on the wings to David Beckham and Ryan Giggs.

"These people got you on the edge of your seat and United have not been that for a couple of years.

"Ibrahimovic would give you that. He'd get you on the edge of your seat and would that stadium and that pressure overawe him? Not at all.

"I think he could be the catalyst for United to get back to somewhere where you're watching them play the kind of football that you associate with Manchester United - the football that got you on the edge of your seat.

"Pay him what he wants, which would be a shed load of money and you'd certainly get one great year out of him and you might even get two great years out of him."
