Manchester United will need to bring in more new faces if they wish to finish above Tottenham and Chelsea next season, according to ESPN FC Pundit Ian Darke.
The Red Devils have already roped in Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka for a combined fee of £65m. However, Darke has insisted that the two players aren’t enough for United to achieve their targets for the next season.
“I think [Wan-Bissaka] will solve Manchester United’s problem at right-back but they need to do a whole lot more,” Darke said.
“We don’t know what’s going to go on with [Paul] Pogba, we don’t know what’s going to go on with [Romelu] Lukaku.”
“Plenty more business needs to be done by United because they’re miles off it at the moment.”
“[United won’t be] that near [to the top four with Wan-Bissaka and James], to be honest with you.”
“I think they need to tighten up the defence.”
“They’ve signed Marcus Rashford incidentally to a new contract until 2023, so that’s some more good news for Manchester United. I think you’re going to have to judge United, not now, but nearer the transfer deadline.”
“Let’s see how much business they can do remembering they don’t have the appeal of Champions League football to attract the marquee names.”
