The Harambee Stars captain was very instrumental for his English side Tottenham Hotspur on his debut season at the White Hart Lane in 2016-17 period and former Chelea defender Jason Cundy feels that he could be the best catch for Jose Mourinho ahead of next season.

"If Man United are after anyone, why don't they go for Wanyama? He is a Jose Mourinho-type player," Candy said on his TalkSport radio show.

So far, Manchester United have signed two players in Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku from Everton and defender Victor Lindelof from Benfica.

Tottenham Hotspur have not signed any player but have sold Federico Fazio and Kyle Walker. Midfielder Eric Dier has also been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United.
