In what would come as a shock move, Paul Ince has urged Manchester United to make a move for Man City star Sergio Aguero.

Paul Ince has called on Manchester United to make a big move for Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero on a free transfer this summer.

The Argentine has written himself into City folklore during his 10 years in England, scoring a club record 257 goals to fire the Citizens to four Premier League trophies.

However, Aguero’s future at the Etihad is in doubt, and former United star Ince thinks his former club could surprise everyone by signing the striker this summer. The move would be similar to Eric Cantona’s famous switch from Leeds in 1992.

“It’s not as if Harry Kane and Erling Haaland are the only two answers for Man United,” Ince said in an exclusive interview with 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.”

As it stands, Aguero is yet to decide whether or not he wants to continue at Manchester City. However, reports hint that the Argentine might fancy a challenge elsewhere.
