Jimenez has had another excellent season for Wolves

Man United’s attack has been impressive in 2020, with their new-look front three of Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood scoring for fun and earning widespread praise.

But the club have been urged from some quarters to sign a top class centre-forward this summer to spearhead their attack and help them battle for top honours again.

And former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy believes Jimenez would fit the bill for United, saying he’s ‘in the same bracket as Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane’.

“He is too good for that Wolves side,” said the Sports Bar host, speaking recently.

“Is he a Champions League player, yes or no? If the answer is ‘yes’ then he has to be thinking bigger and better right now.

“I don’t doubt that Wolves are going in the right direction, and they don’t have to sell him, but I’m talking about the individual. Wolves are a brilliant side but sentiment does not come into it.

Jason Cundy hails Wolves and says they are on par with Man United and Tottenham 'on merit'

“He is a wonderful football player. He is in the same bracket as Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane – he is that good.

“If I was Ed Woodward, go and get him. You can’t get Kane right now. Kane is going to be tough and he’s had injury problems.

“Can you imagine putting Jimenez in a side that could potentially create more problems?”

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
