Gary Neville: These are the signings Man United will make this summer

Gary Neville says he is expecting to see Manchester United make at least five or six signings in the summer transfer window.

The Red Devils are bound to be linked with a host of new players in the coming weeks and months as the summer transfer window draws ever nearer.

Jose Mourinho is likely to want to bolster his squad in the summer, with Manchester United currently fifth in the Premier League table.

Neville feels that Manchester United are most in need of signings up front but also feels that the Red Devils need defensive and midfield acquisitions.

And the former Manchester United defender is also expecting to see a number of players leave Old Trafford this summer.

Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ on Monday morning, Neville said: “It’s not just the attack, there are some shortages in defence as well.

“They probably need a centre-back and a holding midfield player. He [Mourinho] will want one or two players in attack, one in midfield and one in defence.

“I think five or six signings will probably come in and two or three will go.”

Manchester United were held to a goalless draw by West Brom at Old Trafford on Saturday as they suffered a blow to their top four hopes.

Mourinho is currently preparing his side for their crunch Premier League clash against Everton at Old Trafford on Tuesday night.
