Former France centre-back Frank Lobeuf has urged Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly to not entertain the advances of Manchester United if he wants to win silverware.
Manchester United are in pole position to acquire the services of the Senegalese with Napoli set to miss out on next season’s champions League.
Lobeuf believes that a move to Liverpool or Paris Saint-Germain would be a great opportunity for the 28-year old to add some trophies to his impressive career achievements.
‘I will never ask him to go to Manchester United for many reasons,’ the ex-Chelsea defender told ESPN FC.
‘I want him to win some stuff and I think Manchester United is not the club that they used to be and they’re not ready to win stuff.
‘I think Liverpool would be a good fit with [Virgil] van Dijk, that would be fantastic. Paris Saint-Germain as well with Marquinhos, there would be two great central defenders.
‘I think Chelsea will need a player like that. I don’t know if Koulibaly will be interested, but even if they have two very good central defenders, Koulibaly I think belongs to another level and would fit very well.
‘I know he has a link with Liverpool, Van Dijk and Koulibaly at the back – my God, that’s going to be another Red season I guess.
‘You have to make a choice at certain points. The question was ‘what is the best fit for Koulibaly?’ and definitely with Van Dijk, and when you’re a defender like Koulibaly, that would be the best central defence in the world.’
