Enigmatic SwedeIbrahimovic hit 28 goals for United in 2016-17 after joining as a free agent - with Community Shield, League Cup and Europa League success being savoured under the guidance of Jose Mourinho.
Could Lewandowski make a similar impact as a seasoned professional that knows his way to the back of the net? Saha added: “The problem I see is just because Lewandowski still has the same style as Sesko.
“I would love to have a player who could play with him, a bit of a 4-4-2 style, where I don’t see Sesko and Lewandowski playing together. So it will be about sharing the spot a bit more.
“So, that’s why I think I would have preferred someone else in some way. But yeah, definitely going into that campaign in the Champions League, you need experience, you need that kind of youth and experience as well. So, it is something that could work.”
Saha, who savoured Premier League and Champions League title glory with United, added onthe type of player that the Red Devils need to find: “I would prefer someone like, I don’t know if I’m saying something crazy, but Kylian Mbappe, or someone that style. Where you have someone who’s a bit more like Olivier Giroud for Kylian Mbappe, and you have someone who can circulate around.
“This type of player, this is where Manchester United have always been dangerous. You have Dwight Yorke, who ran around Andy Cole, someone around Ruud van Nistelrooy, and this always worked. Whatever formation, whatever era, this formula works.”
