Gary Neville pinpoints five positions Manchester United need to strengthen in transfer window

Gary Neville has advised Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer about the summer transfer window. The Red Devils secured third-place Premier League finish and are ready to sign new players. Jadon Sancho tops United's shopping list. But Neville thinks his former side need to strengthen in five different positions this summer if they are to challenge. "He needs to spend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and that's not recklessly, he needs to spend in the right way," he said on his Sky Sports podcast. "There needs to be a right-winger, there needs to be a challenge for centre-forward, there needs to be a left-back. There needs to be a challenge for a goalkeeper and they need a centre-back. They need a top centre-back who can who can bring that level of dominance to the defence like Van Dijk does for Liverpool like Kompany did for Man City." Asked why it was imperatively signed another centre-back, Neville explained his thoughts. "You look at every team that wins titles and they have a dominant centre-back and a great goalkeeper," he continued. "Alisson, (Virgil) van Dijk, (Vincent) Kompany and Ederson, John Terry at Chelsea, Jaap Stam and Steve Bruce, Sol Campbell, Tony Adams. "They have all got great centre-backs and great goalkeepers and Manchester United need those things. I think Harry Maguire has had a good season but he needs a partner. That's not being fair on (Victor) Lindelof because he needs a partner as well. They are both good defenders but I think Manchester United need a centre-back as well." In defence, United have been linked with Kalidou Koulibaly of Napoli. Aston Villa hero Jack Grealish has also been tipped to join, along with Sancho. Source: Daily Star
