'If Man Utd Offer £100m for Aubameyang, Sell Him'

'If Man Utd Offer £100m for Aubameyang, Sell Him'

With Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang being linked with a surprise move to Manchester United, a former Arsenal star says he Gunners should only sell if the Red Devils offer £100million.

Aubameyang's current deal at the Emirates Stadium runs until 2021 but there has no indications that the Gabonese striker will extend.

The Gunners have seen the likes of Robin van Persie and Alexis Sanchez make the switch to Old Trafford in the last decade, having both been in similar contract situations.

However, former Gunners striker Charlie Nicholas feels Aubameyang would not leave for the Manchester outfit, after noting how Sanchez fell from grace when he left.

"It depends what people put down as a risk. If he was to go to Manchester United, does it help Arsenal? No, not at all," he told Sky Sports.

"If Aubameyang wants to leave, you ideally want him out of the Premier League. However, he is of a mind and age that I can see the dangers and understand comparisons with Van Persie. However, I think he will be thinking about what happened to Alexis Sanchez rather than Van Persie.

"Would he want to be a part of a superstar reload at Manchester United? Is there a great appeal to that? If it was Liverpool or Man City I would get it, but Manchester United are miles away from the top two. I do not see the appeal of moving to Old Trafford.

"Would he win the title with United in the next few years? I don't think so. He might not even be in the Champions League if he was to join so what is the real appeal? Is it salary? I don't think he is that type.

"Van Persie jumped to a massive salary, but Manchester United are not the same calibre as what they were then. Would he be the cutting edge for them? Maybe. But, like Arsenal, I think they have other issues to address.

"If Arsenal were to get £100m for him to go there, I would take that. Arsenal were once the challengers to United for the title, but now neither of them are. If Man Utd offer £100m for Aubameyang, sell him."
