Former Croatia defender Dario Simic believes Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic, who has been linked with Liverpool, belongs at a big club and admits he could picture his countryman at Manchester United.
Perisic joined Inter from Wolfsburg in the summer of 2015 and despite their up and down form over the last season-and-a-half, the Croat has remained one of their more consistent players.
He has often been linked with a move away from the Nerazzurri, with Liverpool believed to be interested in snapping him up, but Perisic has so far stayed put at the San Siro.
However Simic, who won over 100 caps for Croatia, feels his compatriot deserves to be at one of the top clubs in Europe and believes Perisic has the ability to play for one of the blue chip sides such as Manchester United, with whom he has also been linked.
Speaking to Croatian outlet Vecernji, Simic said when asked about Perisic: “I expected Perisic to join one of the big European clubs in the last window.
