Former Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy says Manchester United should forget about moving for Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho.
Murphy believes a midfield playmaker and defensive leader such as Toby Alderweireld should be top of his shopping list.
He told the Daily Mail: "I'll be interested to see what impact Philippe Coutinho has (in Barcelona 's Champions League quarter-final against Manchester United ).
"Coutinho has been linked with a move to United because his transfer from Liverpool hasn't worked out as well as expected.
"My view is United have more pressing priorities than the Brazilian, namely a midfield playmaker to finally replace Michael Carrick and a defensive leader in the mould of Virgil van Dijk – maybe Toby Alderweireld."
