Former Manchester United defender Gary Pallister has claimed that Everton defender John Stones would fit like a glove at United.

Stones has been linked with a move to the Red Devils and Pallister thinks that the 21-year-old is a player how truly belongs at Old Trafford.

"Stones is the name that everyone's going to talk about," he told The Independent.

"He's been copping a bit of flack over the last few months. It's a learning curve. I went through it as a player. When you do try to play out from the back you look as though you're taking chances.

"If you're that kind of player sometimes it's going to go wrong for you and it's been going wrong for him a little bit too much recently. He's got to address that."

"He's still a young kid and there's still plenty to come from him. I think he reads the game really well.

"He's a player that's got Manchester United written all over him. If you went [to sign] British he's the stand-out name."
