Gary Neville has said that Manchester United’s wealth will mean they will probably beat the other big clubs in Europe for the best signings this summer.
The postponement of football across the continent since March has already had an impact on clubs, with, for example, Barcelona reportedly planning various sales to raise funds and Napoli’s losses are expected to exceed 20 million euros.
However, last month, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insisted that the developing situation is one that your side, one of the richest in the world, could “exploit” when the market reopens.
The Red Devils have come under fire in recent years for spending considerable funds and failing to achieve significant success in return, with the club currently 37 points behind leader Liverpool in the Premier League table.
Speaking in Sky Sports The soccer show, although, Neville echoed Solskjaer’s sentiment and explained how United’s wealth will put them in a much better position to sign the best players.
“If we hadn’t had this virus, I keep thinking Manchester united they could be two or three years away, “said the former full-back.
“If you were a major player in Europe right now and had the option to choose Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Manchester City, Liverpool, United, you would probably lose those players to go to those clubs.”
“I think that now six of them could be completely redundant in the transfer market in terms of spending £ 50 million, £ 60 million, £ 70 million, £ 80 million.
“United’s ability will still be there to do those things, so the reason I’m a bit more confident is that the number one players in the world and in Europe this summer will either stay where they are or end up in City, United, a club that still has the wealth to compete.
“That is why I am more confident that the salaries that United will be able to offer this summer and the funds that they will have will mean that they will move up the chain more than they would have been previously.”
United has been strongly linked in recent months with Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho, who is expected to cost at least £ 80m.
However, the latest report suggests that the England international could look to stay in Dortmund for another season.
Other reported targets include Aston Villa captain Jack Grealish and James Maddison of Leicester City.
United is said to be seeking a deal for Grealish this summer, according to the latest claim.
