Ex-Manchester United legend, Owen Hargreaves has come out to say that the club needs a Reuben Dias kind of signing to win the league. He recently revealed that the club is better off spending their summer transfer budget on a quality centre-back, not Harry Kane.
According to him, for Manchester United to compete, they’re going to have to invest heavily and back Ole, as a reward for the good job he has done at the club so far.
He added that even if he really likes Lindelof, seeing Liverpool with Van Dijk and Manchester City with Dias makes him feel like MUFC need something more.
His words, “United could win the Europa League but the goal is to win the Premier League and the Champions League and to do that they need investment, the right recruitment, key players in certain positions.”
“If you look at the squad Man City has, with the utmost respect to everyone else, that’s the best team in the country. They’ve got a coach that’s super innovative but the depth of players they have, I don’t think anyone in the country can compete.”
“So for United to compete they’re going to have to invest heavily and back Ole, because Ole has got them in a position where they’re within striking distance and I think that’s good. A lot of teams sign good players but they’re not difference makers.”
“I like Lindelof, I think he’s a really good player, but I think you’ve seen the impact [Ruben] Dias has had at Man City and the impact [Virgil] Van Dijk had [at Liverpool] and it might take getting one of those guys in to help Man Utd take the next step.”
“It costs a lot of money but United need a centre-back, a right winger and probably a defensive midfield player.”
