Former Liverpool defender, Mark Lawrenson has tipped Chelsea defender, Thiago Silva, to make a shock summer switch to Manchester United on a free transfer.

Earlier this week, Silva announced he will leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season after four seasons.

Despite the fact he will turn 40 in September, the Brazilian has proven he is still capable of operating at the highest level.

I could see Thiago Silva going to another Premier League team in the summer, but the only thing is that he needs to play in a back three. There are teams who play in a three and hes shown that he can still play.

I think there will be lots of Premier League teams who will be looking at him, even if its just for one year with an opportunity to extend, if hes still good enough.

I could possibly see him going to Old Trafford in the summer, and youd know that he would be a good signing for him as long as he can stay fit because hes been a top player but also he looks fit, and can play the ball out from the back comfortably, which is something that Manchester United havent had from their central defenders this season,” Lawrenson told Paddy Power.
