Gary Neville has criticized Manchester United’s desperate transfer approach, especially on the Jadon Sancho deal.

The Pundit of Sky Sports speaking to the Daily Mail on the behind schedule Sancho transfer disapproved of how his former side always stays on a single player instead of negotiating for others when their budget does not get along clubs asking price.

Manchester United have not been able to sign the English winger following their failure to meet his £108.6m price worth.

According to Neville, failure does not mean there is a lack of skillful wingers across Europe who can help revive Manchester United.

“The fact that it's dragged on. Just say to Dortmund “leave him there” and go get another player,” he told The Mail.

 “There are plenty of players around; there can't be just one player you're chasing.

“If you can't get a deal done [for Sancho] you have to move on. You certainly have to give hard deadlines on players.”

The co-owner of Salford City is thinking that the Red Devils' new season might turn up to be the previous where average performances will be on display.

With Chelsea and Manchester City busy reinforcing their squad to challenge for honors next season, the 45-year old expects Manchester United to be swift on deals in order to make acquired players a part of the manager’s pre-season training ahead of the season.

“Like everyone else they had three months off because of coronavirus, so I don't think it should be the case they didn't have the resource or time to get things done,” “Chelsea got their business done, [Manchester] City have got three or four pieces done. I don't think timing's the issue.

“It's just a thing with United that every time they go for a player in the last four, five, six years it feels they are a little bit desperate.

“They think they can hang on but they always pay it [the asking price] in the end.

“That's sometimes where I think you can take control, give a hard deadline and say “we're moving away from this deal.”
