Kieron Dyer has urged Sir Bobby Robson to up his bid for his former Ipswich team-mate Titus Bramble - who he believes is a future England star.

Dyer is a big admirer of the England Under-21 international Bramble and is keen for United to make a renewed offer for him following the rejection of their initial £4.2million bid.

Dyer said: "I think Titus can develop in the Premiership with us - he can develop into a world class defender.

"I know he had a disappointing time last season, but that can happen with young players.
"Take Rio Ferdinand. He had a dodgy season or more at West Ham when he was making mistakes - but look at him now.

"Titus has got all the attributes, not least great skill and strength.

"Our manager can bring the best out of anyone and he can do it with Titus and I'd put my money on Titus winning full England honours at Newcastle."
