The Sky Sports football columnist has told United to meet the former PSG striker's demand to make him move to Old Trafford.
The 34 year old is a free agent, after he announced he would be leaving PSG in the summer, when his contract expires.
Report from France days ago claimed United had offered the Swede a one year contract, a news his agent has denied.
The player's wage demand will be in the region of £300,000 per week, which will sure scare a lot of clubs.
Souness however thinks Ibra will be worth the money.
"Pay him what he wants, which would be a shed load of money and you'd certainly get one great year out of him and you might even get two great years out of him." He told Sky Sports.
Souness doesn't believe that Ibrahimovic's arrival at United will hinder the progress of youngsters like Martial and Rashford that has shown great promise for United this season.
"I don't think it's about blocking the development. He would be your main striker and you would fill in around him.
"United are not a club that can wait for people to become players. They have to have the finished article now and have to have success now so for me, that would be secondary.
"It's about getting someone on the pitch that can fire the supporters' imagination and get the team playing again with the kind of arrogance, if you like, that I've always associated with Man United."
The player himself says he knows where he would be playing next season, though he hasn't let it out.
The anticipated arrival of José Mourinho at United could turn things in United's favour with regards to signing the former Barcelona and Inter Milan striker.
