Gary Lineker names ex-Man United star who would be perfect for Ruben Amorim - as he hits out at 'nonsensical' rules that led to his Old Trafford exit

Gary Lineker has named a former Man United star that he believes is 'exactly' what Ruben Amorim needs right now.

United are on track to log their worst goalscoring tally in a Premier League campaign ever, eclipsing Louis van Gaal’s final season in 2015-16 when they scored 49 goals.

So far this season, United have netted just 38 in 32 league games; at this rate, they are set to finish the season on 45 goals.

Last summer, Scott McTominay called an end to his seven-year spell at Old Trafford by joining Napoli for £26million, having debuted for United in 2017 after rising through the club's youth ranks.
