'He wouldn't be going there for ambition': Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would only be joining Manchester United for the 'money' says former Arsenal man Paul Merson as he claims it would be 'different' if he joined Liverpool or Manchester City

Paul Merson believes Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would be choosing greed over ambition if he was to join Manchester United this summer.

The Arsenal captain is out of contract at the Emirates Stadium in 2021 and the two parties are yet to come close to agreeing fresh terms, and clubs like United have been linked with a move.

The main sticking point for the Gabon international - who was linked with moves to Inter Milan and Barcelona in January - appears to be whether Arsenal will qualify for European football next season, with the club currently sitting ninth in the Premier League table.
