You probably just need to select the right import setting. Namely Sprite instead of Default.

in your Project tab find your imported PNG and select it. Inspector will display the import settings for your PNG. Change Texture Type (the very first dropdown in inspector) from Default to Sprite 2D and UI. Now the image will behave like a sprite.
