Former Man United GK Edwin van der Sar speaks on what the club needs to challenge for the PL title

According to former Man United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, the club needs two or three more signings in order to challenge for the Premer League title.

The United legend believes that there are signs of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s revolution taking shape at Old Trafford, but insists they are still some way short of rivals Liverpool and Manchester City.

The Ajax chief executive said: “The honeymoon period (under Solskjaer) was great, then they hit a rocky patch and I think the last seven, eight, nine weeks, they've been playing better football.

“The points were coming in. They had some good results against good teams also. Of course, for them, I hope that the league is going to resume because they probably will need those Champions League places.

“I think the main thing for them is to focus on the next season and hopefully with two or three additions, they'll be competitive again to Liverpool and Manchester City.”

Speaking to CNN Sport Van der Sar added: “(They need) consistency, a winning mentality. Maybe they can solve what's going to happen with Paul (Pogba]), is he going to stay?

“I'm sure that with (David) de Gea, with (Harry) Maguire, with (Bruno) Fernandes, with (Marcus) Rashford, with Martial, they have a good line, I think, in the middle.

"And besides that, they've also a lot of young players developing as always at United, so in that way, I'm positive for next season for them."

The Red Devils have been planning on a major spend this summer with Jadon Sancho, Jack Grealish, and James Maddison all on their wanted list.
