Andy Cole has urged Manchester United to sign Jude Bellingham over Declan Rice.
West Ham United manager David Moyes has said the club would demand at least £150m for England midfielder Rice.
And Cole thinks United would be wiser moving for Borussia Dortmund teenager Bellingham, who he thinks can offer more attacking threat.
Red Devils legend Cole told Sky Sports: "£150m for a holding midfield player? That's a lot of money.
"Not sure how many goals he's going to get you from that position.
"We were just talking, if the opportunity comes about when Rice is available in the summer and you had Bellingham come available, who would you spend your £150m on?"
He added: "Personally, I would go with Bellingham, he's 18 years of age and he goes that way, that way [points up and down], he creates chances, he scores goals.
"For such a young man, his ability is absolutely frightening. Bellingham has something extra, just energy."
