Rafael urges Manchester United to sign Corentin Tolisso

Former Manchester United defender Rafael has called for the Red Devils to sign Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso during this summer's transfer window.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are allegedly in talks with Tolisso's representatives over a potential deal for the France international ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

Rafael played alongside the central midfielder at Lyon, and the Brazilian claimed on Twitter that his former teammate would be "perfect" for the 20-time English champions.

One of best midfielder I play with, i think will be perfect for machester United. Hope he goes there. https://t.co/n8ei3SEyfe

The 25-year-old, who could allegedly be available for just €35m (£30.7m) in the upcoming market, has scored three times and provided five assists in 24 appearances at club level this season.

The 2018 World Cup winner has not been involved for Bayern since the Bundesliga resumed in the middle of May, though, as he works his way back from an ankle operation.
