United need Eto'o says Venables, the ex-England manager and former Barcelona boss believes United need to sign the Cameroon striker to stay in touch with cross-town rivals City.
Venables has stated that United boss Alex Ferguson would be wise to retract an earlier statement that his summer spending has ceased and put a deal together that would bring the Barcelona striker to the Old Trafford club, who may be in the midst of a swap deal along with Internazionale striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Venables has said that Manchester United's squad will still need further strengthening, after the loss of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez which would have seriously weakened the squad, by securing the signature of Eto'o, Ferguson could exact revenge on City boss Mark Hughes after he signed Tevez.
In his column for The Sun, Venables wrote, "Ferguson will be at Wembley again next month for the Community Shield" "and if he's not too busy next weekend he might be a good idea for him to visit the Arch", "he could pay a visit to the Wembley Cup featuring Tottenham, Celtic, Al-Ahly and Barcelona"
"Alex will see not just some great football", "he may also get to see a possible solution to United's summer discontent" "and yes his name is Samuel Eto'o. The same one who scored against United in last May's Champions' League final".
"Yes the same Eto'o that has been courted by Manchester City, the same Eto'o that has scored 108 goals in five years for Barcelona", "I believe Eto'o can fill the void left by the shattering departures of Ronaldo and Tevez", "he might not have all that keen on a move to City but United might prove a more attractive prospect", "Manchester City want to be a force in Europe but United already are" he concluded.
