Man Utd: Pundits discuss Jude Bellingham transfer rumour
Gary Neville has urged Manchester United to make one more elite signing to get the club back to the top. Neville thinks United need to look at how Liverpool built their title winning side and thinks the signings of Virgil van Dijk and Alisson are the perfect example of smart recruitment.
United have been heavily linked with Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish for this summer, but Neville’s recommendation of a centre-back will likely add to the names linked.
Kalidou Koulibaly has been talked about a lot in the past despite the £80m signing of Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof’s improvements this term.
United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer however is keen to improve the side.
But he has been warned he may need to raise capital this summer if he wants to spend big due to the coronavirus and the financial repercussions on the sporting world.

Man Utd transfer news: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking to bolster his squad (Image: GETTY)
A deal for Sancho would cost the club over £100m and Ed Woodward has reportedly told Solskjaer to clear players out to help balance the accounts.
Alexis Sanchez, Jesse Lingard, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones and Andreas Pereira are the top candidates to be sold if they can find buyers.
Smalling is likely to join Roma but United have rejected Inter’s bid to extend Sanchez’ loan deal so he doesn’t help the Italians beat them in the Europa League.
However despite Neville thinking United could be battling the top dogs with just one or two signings, the Match of the Day crew think it would take more than that.

Former Newcastle ace Alan Shearer told the BBC: "I think three or four big players. Right side of midfield, possibly a centre-forward, centre-halve and maybe another midfielder."
Ian Wright added: "That’s the kind of signing (Sancho) they have to make if they’re going to be challenging City and Liverpool. Everybody is excited about Bruno Fernandes and Pogba.
"Martial and Rashford, both of them 19 goals each, last time any Man Utd players got that was Chicharito (Javier Hernandez) and (Dimitar) Berbatov.
"It seems like it’s starting to happen [for United]."
