Breaking news: Jurgen Klopp key striker set to join Manchester United,

 Manchester United have been 

told to make a sensational move 

for Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino

 this summer to bolster their ailing

 forward line.

United are set to lose Edinson 

Cavani, while question marks remain 

over the futures of Cristiano Ronaldo

 and Anthony Martial.

Firmino, whose contract at Anfield 

expires in just over 12 months, has found

 himself in and out of Jurgen Klopp's 

side of late.

And former United midfielder Kleberson, 

who was unveiled on the same day as 

a certain Cristiano Ronaldo back in 

2003, believes his fellow Brazilian 

has all the tools to succeed at 

Old Trafford.

'Roberto Firmino's style would suit 

Manchester United, especially the 

way he plays for Liverpool,' Kleberson 

told Paddy Power.

'For the Brazil national team, he 

plays higher up, but for Liverpool 

he's a bit deeper.

'If Manchester United wanted to 

make a change, he's a good player 

that can help, especially with Marcus 

Rashford and Jadon Sancho on the 

wings. Firmino can help those players 

create space when they're on the attack.

'That's the type of player Manchester

 United should be looking at. A player 

with Firmino's quality can help release 

the team. He's a great player and he'd 

be a good fit, and a good signing 

for Manchester United.'

It is rare for players to move from 

Anfield to Old Trafford - or vice versa

 - given the deep-rooted rivalry 

between Britain's two most successful

 clubs.

Firmino has scored nine goals for 

Liverpool this season but has been 

overlooked in favour of Diogo Jota 

and January signing Lucas Diaz for 

the third slot alongside Sadio Mane

 and Mohamed Salah in Klopp's

 front three.

The 30-year-old has won five trophies 

at Anfield and scored 96 goals in 

318 appearances since joining from

 Hoffenheim in a £29million deal in 2015.

Firmino could still play a key role for 

Liverpool this season as they target 

an unprecedented quadruple.

They are second in the Premier 

League, a point behind Manchester 

City, have reached the semi-finals 

of the FA Cup and the quarter-finals 

of the Champions League, having 

lifted the Carabao Cup last month.

United have endured a torrid season 

and are battling to finish fourth, while 

their last chance of silverware was 

ended by Atletico Madrid in the last 

16 of the Champions League last week.
