The former Newcastle forward has advised his compatriot, likely to leave Atletico Madrid this summer, to avoid overtures from the likes of Real Madrid.
“We were talking and he asked me my opinion on who he should join. He knows that every big club in the world wants him,” Asprilla told the Daily Mail.
“He is not a player motivated by money – what he wants is somewhere that his family will be happy and where he will have success.
“With teams like Real Madrid, PSG, Manchester City they have good times then they have bad times – that is why I told him he must choose Manchester United.”
