The Red Devils are having a poor start this season and are 13th on the rankings with only 6 points after 5 matches. It is worth mentioning that Man United ended the summer transfer window after spending about 183.5 million pounds to buy new players.

Rasmus Hojlund is a prominent name among the new recruits, while Sofyan Amrabat, Andre Onana and Mason Mount also joined the Red Devils squad under coach Erik ten Hag.But former MU legend Neville believes that the Red Devils need to sign an outstanding player in attack and in the midfield to be able to think about participating in the race to win the championship. Let’s see how Arsenal spent £105 million to sign West Ham United’s 24-year-old maestro, Declan Rice.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich spent about 86.4 million pounds to buy England captain Harry Kane from Tottenham Hotspur, who is second on the list of top scorers in Premier League history.After the humiliating 1-3 loss to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend at Old Trafford, former England defender Neville shared: “I never thought that MU would challenge Manchester City and Arsenal with their strengths. players they brought in. MU needs to sign a contract like Harry Kane or Declan Rice, for example.

Unfortunately, Man United does not have enough money to make such important contracts. MU’s squad at this time does not achieve the excellence expected. And if it continues like that, it will take them 20 years to catch up with Man City.”Hojlund, 20, had to wait until September to make his debut for Manchester United, in a miserable 1-3 loss to host Arsenal. He made his first appearance in the Red Devils’ official squad in the loss to Brighton, before being substituted after an hour.

Manchester United is really having a weak performance since the beginning of this season, having lost three after five matches. They lost to Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Brighton, while victories over weaker opponents such as Wolverhampton Wanderers and Nottingham Forest could not convince fans. It should be remembered that the Red Devils have not won the Premier League championship in more than 10 years. However, their third place finish last season under Erik ten Hag was seen as a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, MU has not been able to develop further and there is a gap of 9 points compared to the top team after only 6 rounds.

Manchester United’s next match is the UEFA Champions League group stage match against Bayern Munich on September 20 at Allianz Arena. Just 3 days later, Ten Hag’s team traveled to Turf Moor to face Burnley – a team that Man United had never lost away from home in more than 14 years.
