The Foxes star was instrumental in the midfield as his side went on to win the Premier League title in the recently concluded season.
The 26-year-old came up through the ranks of the youth system at Old Trafford. However, Drinkwater failed to break into the first team and he moved to the King Power Stadium in January 2012.
His form for Leicester has seen him receive a call for England and he made his full debut in March 2016. He even made it to the 26-man provisional squad for the European championship. Meulensteen believes United should bring him back to Old Trafford as his Premier League experience could prove vital if he joins them in the summer.
"Drinkwater has a Manchester United history having come through the academy and look at how he's established himself in the Premier League," Meulensteen told 888Sport.com.
"Sometimes you don't have to look further because those players know what playing in the Premier League is about. If you bring a foreign player in they might need time to adjust. Players like Danny Drinkwater who is now in the England squad would fit in nice and easily."
On signing players for other positions, he said: "They need to target a good strong centre-back and you could go with someone young with plenty of potential. In that respect, I've seen the name of John Stones in the papers. They might need a dynamic midfielder that gives the team rhythm and ticking over
"There are not too many players available and especially having now missed out on the Champions League."
