Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has named three signings Manchester United ‘desperately’ need to make for its manager, Ruben Amorim, in the summer transfer window.
Man United’s Premier League campaign has not been impressive so far this season.
The Red Devils were humiliated 4-1 by Newcastle United at St James’ Park over the weekend.
The defeat against Newcastle leaves Man United in 14th position on the Premier League table.
Speaking on what Man United need to do to improve Amorim’s squad going forward, Shearer said on The Rest is Football podcast that the Premier League club need to sign a goalkeeper, a midfielder, and a centre forward.
“For them to go forwards in terms of recruitment, everything relies on winning the Europa League and getting back in the Champions League,” Shearer said.
“We know Ruben Amorim has got a huge job on his hands. It’s going to take a lot of time and a lot of money to fix that football club. They need to stick with him. They have made their decision.
“He needs two or three transfer windows because they are in desperate need of a centre forward, they are in desperate need of a goalkeeper, they are in desperate need of some legs in midfield.
“It’s a huge job, so you need to stick with him. But he is asking players to do something they can’t do. They are really struggling.”
