Ex-Newcastle boss Bruce tips Wilson for Man Utd

Former Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce says Callum Wilson is good enough to lead the line for Manchester United.

The former United captain rates Wilson as a player they should move for this summer.

Speaking to BoyleSports, Bruce said: "Man United are always linked with players and what we've just seen in January is a reality check, that you cannot break these [FFP] rules.

"You had to adhere to these rules and that is why we have not seen much activity. I don't think I have seen a quieter January, that's for sure. I'd love to know what the actual figures are but it looks to me as though there has been a reality check up and down the country.

"Wilson is a proven goalscorer, just look at his figures. The kid stacks up. He's unfortunately had a few injuries but when he's fit he's a very good player.

"I'm not surprised he's linked with clubs involving Man United at all because if you look at his record, especially since he's been at Newcastle, he's turned himself into a very, very good number nine."
