Speaking to MUTV, Hary Neville said, “I think, to be honest with you, I don’t know which area needs strengthening fully until we know which players the new manager likes.”
He continued, “We know the areas they absolutely need to actually strengthen. Central midfield is an absolute necessity. An absolute necessity. Manchester United need midfield players.”
“They also need a centre-forward. I know Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to stay and he’s an absolutely brilliant performer, but they need a centre-forward. Centre-forward is a must.
“I think there’ll need to be a wide player, just to beef up the squad, and I think full-backs are absolutely critical in the modern game. [There are] four full-backs there, it’ll be interesting to see which two, three or four of those are liked.”
Gary Neville played for Manchester United from 1992 to 2011. In that period the fullback made over 600 appearances for the club and won multiple trophies including 2 Champions League titles and 9 Premier League titles.
