'Utd need 5 or 6 signings' – Neville sees Pogba-less midfield as biggest problem

Manchester United are still in need of “five or six signings”, says Gary Neville, with a Paul Pogba-less midfield proving to be a real “problem” for the Red Devils at the moment.

Big money will need to be invested plugging the other gaps, with injuries – such as that being endured by World Cup winner Pogba – highlighting the need for further change.

“The midfield’s just a problem for United full stop, let’s be clear about it,” United legend Neville told Sky Sports.

“Even with Scott McTominay in it’s a problem. They haven’t strengthened in that area, obviously Pogba’s injured.

“It’s a problem for them and it’s just not good enough, the midfield just doesn’t have good enough quality.

“They need a striker, they need two midfield players, they need a left-back – they need five or six signings.

“They can’t do that until January and obviously the summer but the midfield will not go away as a problem for Manchester United just because of an injury.

“It’s a problem full stop – it needs strengthening.”
