Manchester United have been told that signing Raphinha would make 'common sense' this summer.
The Leeds talisman has been linked with a number of Europe's top clubs in the upcoming transfer window including United. His 11 goals in 36 appearances was a valiant effort for a relegation threatened side and outshone Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho's efforts combined.
United's duo managed 10 goals between them in the last campaign and the club have are keen to strengthen their forward line under Erik ten Hag. According to ex- United defender Paul Parker, the Brazilian's arrival in Manchester would be a wise move.

He told BonusCodeBets : "Now, he’s (Raphinha) not a centre-forward, he’s a wide player, he’s creative. He plays off the cuff, he improvises.
"So, I would say that he’s everything that Manchester United are about. When you look at Manchester United wide players, none of them have really done a lot.
"Only one player has really made an impact as a wide player, but he is inexperienced and he needs to be working with better quality players, more honest players, more professional senior pros, and that’s (Anthony) Elanga. Sancho showed glimpses.
"Rashford, let’s leave Rashford out of this. They haven’t had anything from someone from a wide area who’s gonna be frightening in the forward position.
"So, yes I have to say that he (Raphinha) would be a very good signing and the fact that he’s playing in the Premier League is a fact that makes even more sense. They haven’t got to worry about integration.
"So, common sense says, if he’s available, when you talk money I think he’s like £35 million. I would say he would be a very, very good signing for Manchester United."
