Liverpool legend John Barnes has urged his old club to move for Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane - saying he would be 'smart business' for the club.
The French centre-back could be on the move this summer - with the cash-strapped Los Blancos reportedly open to cashing in to free up funds, and United are said to be a massively interested party.
But Barnes feels Liverpool should attempt to hijack any transfer from their rivals, insisting that Varane would slot in perfectly with the team's style under Jurgen Klopp as a ball-playing centre-back.
