Manchester United icon Gary Neville has launched a scathing attack on his former club's transfer strategy, accusing the Red Devils of operating without a clear footballing vision.
The Sky Sports pundit didn't hold back in his assessment of United's recruitment policy, suggesting the club has been making costly mistakes in the transfer market for years.
'No Coherent Strategy' at Old Trafford
"There's no discernible pattern to their signings," Neville stated bluntly. "When you look at successful clubs, you can see their football identity reflected in their transfers. At United, it's just random."
The former right-back pointed to inconsistent player profiles and fluctuating tactical approaches as evidence of poor planning at boardroom level.
Summer Transfer Window Concerns
With the summer window approaching, Neville warned that United risk repeating past errors unless they establish a clear philosophy. "They can't keep changing direction every time a new manager comes in," he argued.
The criticism comes as United continue to struggle for consistency on the pitch, despite significant investment in recent seasons.
Fan Frustration Growing
Many supporters share Neville's concerns, with protests against the club's ownership becoming increasingly common at Old Trafford. The lack of progress since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement remains a sore point for the fanbase.
Whether United's hierarchy will take Neville's comments on board remains to be seen, but the pressure for change is undoubtedly mounting.
