Former Chelsea star Frank Leboeuf has spoken on the future of Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery.
After being linked with the likes of Elliot Anderson, Carlos Baleba, Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, the Red Devils are reportedly on the cusp of announcing the signing of Atalanta midfielder Ederson.

With Michael Carrick being announced as the club’s permanent manager, summer changes will be controlled by the former midfielder who will be keen to replace Casemiro and construct a side worthy of Champions League football.
As transfer rumours grow, Leboeuf has spoken to CSB about one PSG star who he thinks would be the perfect fit for the Premier League.
“I think that would be a great signing for Manchester United, but he will need players around him to succeed.
“I’m very fond of Michael Carrick and the job he did for Manchester United, and he was playing in the position of Zaire-Emery.
“So I’m pretty sure he would give him great advice to improve. It could be a great move for him.
“Zaire-Emery is a warrior. He’s going to sacrifice himself for the team he plays for. That’s for sure. Will he be ready? I’m not sure yet.
“He had a strange season. He finished it well, but he struggled for the first six months. That’s why he didn’t play most games. Maybe because he was wondering if he should stay or not.”
Casemiro’s eye-watering £350,000-a-week salary is set to come off the wage bill when he officially departs on June 30th, opening the door for fresh faces as Carrick looks over every player on his scouting report.
