Manchester United need to sign Riyad Mahrez but Arsenal also possible - ESPN pundit

Mahrez is reportedly keen on leaving Leicester this month after a fine start to the season for the Foxes.

Serie A giants Roma are linked with his signature as are Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal.

ESPN FC reporter Alexis Nunes asked Hislop whether a move to Old Trafford would be better for Mahrez than signing for Arsenal.

“Riyad Mahrez, we touched on this a little bit in relation to Arsenal,” she said.

“Would Manchester United be a better destination for him?”

Hislop reckons the Algerian would be a great signing by Jose Mourinho.

However, he refused to say whether it would be a wiser move than a switch to Arsenal.

“I’m going to say it’s going to be a good destination,” the former West Ham goalkeeper said.

“You’re not going to get me to say whether it’s a better destination. 

“I think this makes perfect sense again. I like Mahrez, I think Manchester United would need his creativity. 

“I also think that they would need and could do with this dynamism coming out of midfield. 

“That is a big hit for me again.”
