    Former Brighton striker Warren Aspinall believes Fabian Hurzeler is too young for the manager role at Manchester United amid reports of interest from the Red Devils.

    The latest episode of BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast discussed two of the rumours circling the Seagulls this week.

    On Hurzeler to United Aspinall said: "I think the press are just putting two and two together and getting five at the moment.

    "Hurzeler is still young, he's 33 years of age, he hasn't got much experience and for a team like Manchester United, it would be a big risk to take a manager who's had one season in the German Bundesliga 2 and a couple of seasons in the Premier League.

    "The next one for United they have to get right because they're having a shocker."

    Former Arsenal right-back Takehiro Tomiyasu has also been linked with a move to Brighton and Aspinall thinks Albion could use the depth, stating: "When you ask Ferdi Kadioglu where he wants to play, he'll probably say midfield. He's come in to play in midfield but he's filling in at right-back and he's doing a great job. Joel Veltman, another year older, but he has been excellent.

    "Tomiyasu is a free agent and if somebody comes along like that it's worth considering."
