Your support makes all the difference.Manchester United should look to sign Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, according to their former youth player Robbie Savage.
Vardy has been in sensational form this season, and in his appearance against Manchester United at the weekend, extended his goal scoring run to a record-breaking 11 successive matches.
Savage has seen enough to recommend that Louis van Gaal makes a move to sign the England international.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, the former Foxes midfielder said: "If I was Manchester United I would buy Vardy. He would offer pace."
With Manchester United struggling for goals this season - seven other sides have scored more this term - and lacking attacking options, a move for a forward in the January transfer window would not come as a surprise.
Savage also thinks the 27-year-old forward, who has risen through the football pyramid, would be within his rights to want a move should a big club come in for him.
"If someone was to bid for Vardy in January and he asked to leave I don't think you could blame the lad because he's had it late in life," explained Savage, who came through United's youth ranks but failed to make a first team appearance before leaving Old Trafford.
