Man Utd legend Gary Neville understands why Ruben Amorim had to play deep in defence in Man City’s 0-0 draw and says the Red Devils need five new players this summer.
“From a United perspective, I can understand why he’s gone back deep in defence,” Neville said. “But we’ve seen that with Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag. “
“They’ve all come in with the intention of playing high-pressing, high-energy, but end up going deep in the big games. “
“I can understand why Ruben Amorim did that today, with the players he’s got, because he hasn’t got the players to adapt. “

“The front three aren’t good enough, the two wing-backs aren’t good enough. They need five players, they have to put five players in those positions to play the system he wants. “
No manager at United since Sir Alex Ferguson, with the exception of Louis van Gaal, can control a game with possession. That is a real problem. “
The attacking players aren’t of the quality the club need. It sounds harsh, but it’s true.
“There has to be smart recruitment, which means letting players go at good prices and bringing in players who are undervalue. That’s what teams are trying to do. In the league try to do it! “
You can play four players who are not at Man United – Anthony Elanga, Marcus Rashford, Danny Welbeck and Scott McTominay – they will be a lot better than the current front four.
“United have let players go and I’m not saying they’re the solution now, but they’ve been replace with players who are not at that level.”
