Heung-Min Son has helped Tottenham rise up in the English top-flight, and the Man United icon wishes to see him at Old Trafford.

Manchester United legend Wes Brown wants his former club to bring in Tottenham star Heung-Min Son to the striking force. The South Korea international has aided Jose Mourinho’s team to the top of the Premier League this new season. Along with his three assists, Son has managed to net ten goals in the top-flight in just 11 games.

If you remember, the 28-year-old scored a brace against the Red Devils in October in a massive 6-1 win at Old Trafford. And Brown believes that this kind of talent is what United need to lift the spirits up. He said in an exclusive interview with Ladbrokes: “With Bruno Fernandes and the strike force that they [United] have, they can punish any team, as they’ve proven.

“Their home record isn’t brilliant at all, though. Away from home, I think they’re right up there. It’s just about sorting out that home form, and it’s something Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is obviously trying to do. He’s bringing in the right players who are all benefiting the team. I don’t think it’s the finished article yet. But a lot of the time the mistakes they’ve made have just been down to simple things; positioning, awareness, lack of concentration.

“That brings about frustration. But in general when they play well you’re very confident on them winning the game, whoever they’re playing against. The international break after the Tottenham defeat probably came at the right time. I really like Tottenham, and I love Son Heung-min and love him. Wish he was at Man United.

“But that game is a perfect example of the kind of thing you can’t afford to let happen. It gives you a big wake-up call. If you don’t turn up you will get beat, and on that occasion, it was by a heavy scoreline.”
