Ex-Manchester United head coach Rene Meulensteen reckons the Reds should target Borussia Dortmund midfield ace Ilkay Gundogan.

The man who helped seal the deal for Robin van Persie - conqueror of Arsenal on Sunday - believes the 23-year-old German is the answer to United's midfield shortage.

Reports in the Spanish press suggest Gundogan is on his way to Real Madrid but in a question and answer session on Twitter on Sunday evening, Meulensteen identified him as the man United should buy.

Dutchman Meulensteen also said he misses being at United and that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world ahead of Lionel Messi.

Should United go for Gundogan? Have your say.
