Neville lists five signings Man Utd need to make this summer
Gary Neville thinks Manchester United need to make five signings this summer despite their improved performances under caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Following the dramatic 3-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday night there have been renewed calls for Solskjaer to be named the manager on a permanent basis.
A controversial penalty from Marcus Rashford secured a 3-3 aggregate victory on the away goal rule to see United through to the Champions League quarter-finals.
Under Solskjaer, the Red Devils have also catapulted themselves into the top four in the Premier League, while they are also in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
However, Neville thinks there is still a lot of improvements to make if they are to challenge for the Premier League and Champions League next campaign.
“Manchester United need two centre-backs. I genuinely believe that,” Neville told BeIn Sports.
“When you talk about United winning the Premier League title or trying to get to a Champions League final, you need top centre backs.
“They need two new centre backs and a right back. That’s a minimum I think for the summer. They’ve looked at doing that in the past and they need to do it this year.
“The manager needs a new back four, there’s no doubt.
“They need someone with authority. You watch Virgil van Dijk or Thiago Silva, they’re world-class centre backs and United need someone like that.”
Not only that but Neville reckons United could do with improvements at the top end of the pitch with Alexis Sanchez suffering from poor form and injuries.
“I still think they need strengthening in other areas,” Neville added.
“I would say three defenders, one midfielder and one forward, because of the form of Alexis Sanchez.
“Unless he completely changes what he’s doing in the next few months, United need another forward.
“I’d say they need five additions to the squad. Then the squad would be in good shape and could challenge.”
