Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has urged the club to recruit Leroy Sane.

The German has rejected a contract extension from Manchester City, opening the door for a return to the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.

But Yorke thinks United should pursue a move, claiming the left-winger would provide balance to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's attack.

"United have got a real good attacking bunch of young players, add in Sancho, I like the boy Sane. If I was to airdrop, the boy Sane at City I really do [like]," Yorke told Stadium Astro.

"We haven't got a left-footed sort of winger. The boy [Mason] Greenwood is coming to the fore recently but I like Sane."

"I really do think this kid is probably the quickest out of all them as well and he's really got a good attitude.

"I know he's got some injuries, but if I was brave, if I was Man United manager at this point in time that's the type of person I would go for."
