Former Manchester United player and legend Ryan Giggs has said that the Red Devils need to sign at least five more players to compete for titles.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has endured a rocky start to his first full season as the United boss. The Red Devils have notched only 9 points from their first 7 games which happen to be their worst start in thirty years.
“They need another four or five players,” the Wales manager said.
“He (Solskjaer) has bought in three players but he probably needs seven or eight (altogether). ”
“But you can’t do that over one transfer window, so you have to be patient because it will be slow.”
“The culture has changed and what he is trying to do was much needed. He needs time.”
Giggs also spared some praise for Newcastle boss Steve Bruce ahead of their clash with the Red Devils.
“I knew Brucey as a player and he was a leader,” Giggs said.
“I’ve also spoken to players who have played for him and they have enjoyed it. It’s a tough club, Newcastle.”
“When you don’t win regularly at big clubs you are going to get criticised. But Brucey and Ole are big enough characters to turn it around, with time and a bit of luck. Every manager needs that.”
Manchester United will look to return to winning ways as they face Newcastle in the league today.
