Paul Ince thinks Man Utd should try to sign Sergio Aguero on a free transfer in the summer from neighbours Man City.
Barcelona, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea are amongst the clubs who have been linked with a move for the Argentina international.
The man responsible for the greatest moment in City’s modern history is out of contract in the summer after spending ten seasons with the Premier League club.

257 goals in 384 appearances in all competitions will make sure he goes down as a City and Premier League legend if he chooses to depart in the summer.
He has struggled with injuries this season and been limited to just eight Premier League appearances but Ince wants to see Man Utd take a chance on the striker.
“It’s not as if Harry Kane and Erling Haaland are the only two answers for Man United though,” Ince told Ladbrokes.
“Sergio Aguero might be leaving Man City, why shouldn’t United make a move for him?
“You could see it now; if he wanted to stay in the Premier League and he’s living in Manchester, then I don’t think it would be a bad thing at all if they went and got Aguero. It can happen, who knows? You’ve got to ask the question if you’re United because you never know.
“It happened with us back in 1992 when Howard Wilkinson was asking Sir Alex Ferguson about Denis Irwin. Fergie said there’d be no chance of that happening and suggested Leeds sold Cantona to them and within a couple of days that deal was done.
“It was just Fergie throwing a name out there and taking a chance, trying his luck. Maybe that’s what Ole Gunnar Solskjaer should do with Aguero this summer.”
Mauricio Pochettino’s appointment as the new boss of PSG has seen his compatriot Aguero linked with a move to France.
And former Man City goalkeeper David James thought back in January that Aguero should’ve been allowed to leave for a fee.
James said: “I would let him go. This isn’t taking anything away from him, he is a legend at Man City and always will be.
“There comes a point though when you are relying on him and can’t move forward. They have proved that they can move forward without him.
“I think he has finished top goalscorer in the Premier League once, we are not talking about an Alan Shearer that did it three years in a row.
“As much as he is a Man City legend and a dangerous threat, he spends a lot of time injured. He isn’t always the top scorer in the Premier League, and I think Man City are slowly trying to find that instinct where multiple high goalscorers are more important than one outstanding goalscorer.
“If you can get some money for him from PSG, especially considering the amount of time he has been injured, take it.
“It will be a fond farewell and I’m sure there will be a number of suitors that would like to come to Man City to fill his position.”
