Forlan urges Suarez to sign for Man United

Suarez is set to play UEFA Champions League football at Anfield next season after scoring 29 goals to put the club on the verge of their first Premier League title in 24 years, but it has not prevented talk of a possible off-season switch.

His goalscoring exploits have attracted interest from Manchester City, who are reportedly preparing a big-money offer, though director Ian Ayre was quick to play down a potential departure in an interview with BBC Radio Five this week.

"We spoke a few days ago," the 34-year-old Cerezo Osaka striker was quoted as saying in Brazilian sports paper Lance!.

"He asked me if I think he should stay at Liverpool.

"All I told him was to think about going to Manchester United. I know he loves Liverpool, the fans and the city.

"But I think the best thing for his career would be to move to Old Trafford."
