Gary Neville names two areas Manchester United need to strengthen to become PL winners
Gary Neville believes Manchester United are two signings away from winning the Premier League.
The Red Devils are currently leading the league table with 37 points, following the club's goalless draw with Liverpool at the weekend.
However, despite United being real challengers for the league title, Nevile thinks his former side still needs new signings in order to win the trophy.
“I look at this game and think where can you go from being [challengers] to being title winners. One thing would be Manchester United need to push up the pitch a bit more, to be up in the game a little bit more," he said on Gary Neville Podcast with Martin Tyler.
“If you look at Liverpool, even with Fabinho and [Jordan] Henderson, they’re well up the pitch, they’re playing on the halfway line. You look at Manchester United, they’re just playing a little bit deeper.
“And I think when they come here and play 10 yards further up the pitch — maybe in a couple of seasons or next season when maybe they’ve got another centre-half in the club who can give them that confidence to do so — at that point that’s when you’ll start too see them doing it.
“The other bit is that right-hand side is emerging… well, not emerging, it is a problem. There’s no doubt. Juan Mata has played there, [Daniel] James has played there, [Paul] Pogba has played there, [Marcus] Rashford’s played there, [Donny] Van de Beek’s played there, [Mason] Greenwood’s played there.
