Louis Saha Urges Thomas Partey To Join Manchester United

Former French international, Louis Saha has advised midfielder Thomas Partey to join his former club Manchester United.

The Ghana international has been the number one target for Arsenal this summer with PSG, Inter Milan and Manchester United all interested in the 27-year-old.

Despite his €50m release clause, the Atletico Madrid midfield kingpin is desperate to leave the club this summer.

And according to the former Manchester United and Everton forward, Partey's arrival might boost the midfield options for Ole's team.

He described the Ghanaian, who has been linked with a move to the Premier League, as a ‘Fabinho-like’ midfielder who could support United’s attack and protect the defence at the same time.

“He’s a top player. He’s a defensive presence and a tremendous prospect. Whether he can make an impact right away remains to be seen, as we have McTominay, Fred and Matic,” Saha told Compare Bet.

“However, we have seen the impact that someone like Fabinho has had on Liverpool. He has mastered that position. Fabinho has improved the players around him.

“This guy is a rock, he defends in such a way that allows the Liverpool frontline to play their game knowing he’s protecting the defence. Perhaps a Fabinho-like player is already at United, but if not, then we need to find someone, whether that’s Thomas Partey or anyone else.”

Partey has scored two goals in 28 La Liga matches in this campaign and he has three years left on his Atletico Madrid contract.
