Gary Neville tells Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to prioritise three Manchester United transfers

Gary Neville urges Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to prioritise three Manchester United transfers. With Solskjaer in charge and United extending their unbeaten run to 19 games at Crystal Palace on Thursday night, the fallen giants are beginning to show signs of improvement. They have been strongly linked with a move for Borussia Dortmund starlet Jadon Sancho. But Neville reckons a right winger isn't the only priority of Solskjaer's, with the former United star believing that the boss must also sign a new centre-back and centre forward, while a goalkeeper and left-back may be needed. Neville told Webby and O’Neill : "Definitely a centre-back, a challenger for David De Gea, a right winger and a centre-forward, in my opinion. It’s not to replace Martial, it’s to challenge Martial. It means Greenwood doesn’t have to play right wing all the time. "I think do think the club need a winger who can play both sides, personally. I think they need a centre-forward. In 1999 we had Sheringham, Cole and Solskjaer in the building, Sir Alex Ferguson signed Dwight Yorke to challenge them, to complement them, to play with them. Not to replace them. You can sign a player in the same position as another player without disrespecting that player if he’s got the right attitude." Neville went on to reiterate his belief that signing a new forward would ultimately help United challenge for titles. He added: "So for me, the idea of a right winger coming in doesn’t mean Mason Greenwood is sat in the stands. It’s to have a squad capable of winning the Premier League and the Champions League. You can’t do that with 11 players or 13 players, you need 15, 16, 17 players of the highest quality. "Yes, you can’t have too many where there’s then that disruption with the personalities. But you still need competitiveness, you still need competition in each space." Source: The Mirror
