Gary Neville outlines five transfers Manchester United need to challenge for Premier League title

Gary Neville has outlined five transfers Manchester United need to become contenders for the Premier League title. The Red Devils are set to sign Ajax midfielder Donny van de Beek for the next season, moreover, they have targeted RB Leipzig defender Dayot Upamecano as a defensive option. And Neville believes United need to strengthen five positions in order to challenge for the top, while he claims less than three new faces "would be a problem" for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Red Devils legend told Sky Sports: "The Manchester United squad, as it stands today, cannot challenge for the Premier League title this season.  "The squad needed four or five improvements and it still needs four or five improvements. I've been saying that for a year and I've even nominated the positions I feel they need to improve. "They have to sign a world-class centre-back. For me, another midfield player. I also think a right-winger, a centre-forward and you have to look at left-back because of Luke Shaw's injuries and the fact he has obviously been in and out of the team in the last two or three years. "So, I think there are definitely four or five players required and to not get three I think it would be a problem because of what the other clubs are doing. "If Liverpool get Thiago, if Manchester City do what they are looking like they are going to do and with Chelsea doing what they've done, they are your competitors and they all look like they are improving and moving forward. "So, United have to do business but I do believe more in the strategy of what's happening, they just have to get the deals over the line. "That's not always easy but they have to try and do it quickly to give Ole the time to build to get this team moulded for the start of the season."
