Arsenal and Liverpool have both been linked with moves for Barcola this summer as each side seeks to upgrade their attack in the hopes of challenging for the Premier League title next season.
However, as both clubs contemplate a move, United are reportedly weighing up a bid for the 23 year old who manager Michael Carrick believes can reshape his attack.
Barcola scored 13 goals and provided eight assists last season and Saha believes has what it takes to thrive in the English top flight due to his ability to take on defenders.
“Bradley Barcola would be a dream signing at Man Utd because he’s a very direct player,’ Saha told Casinolyze.
“I have seen an improvement in his mentality. He has won two Champions Leagues in a row, he has that confidence and experience.
“At a very young age, he’s full of energy. You see, it’s not easy to come on as a substitute and be a danger, but he’s capable of dribbling, taking the ball and turning you, and he also has fantastic balance.
“It’s almost a better balance than Desire Doué. Doué is very gifted and can run 15km in a game, but he doesn’t go behind defenders. I think you saw that with the goal against Senegal, Barcola has the right balance and makes great runs.
“I think he’s a terrific player for a squad in the Champions League. He’s the type of player that’s always going to help.”
Barcola could challenge Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli and Belgian Leandro Trossard to start on the left for the Gunners or could compete with Bryan Mbuemo and Amad at United as he weighs up his options this summer.
