Manchester United have to sign more world-class stars if they intend to compete for the EPL and UCL again, according to Nani.
United are currently experiencing a delicate transfer window after failing to qualify for the Champions League, having finished sixth and 32 points adrift of winners Manchester City in 2018-19.
Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia have already left the club and the future of their top stars are also uncertain.
Nani revealed his sadness at the club’s current state.
His words, “United need more world-class players. Change something, attitude on the pitch,”
“I remember from my time with [former manager] Alex Ferguson, a lot of games we weren’t playing our best, we weren’t playing beautiful football but in 15 minutes we played with our hearts and to score goals.
“We run, fight for each ball. Thats the way we get all the results. They must have more desire to win every battle on the pitch, every ball, every challenge because just like that they’re going to improve.”
“It’s hard to do well when the past is still there. All the big names and important people who made the club achieve so many trophies, they left.
“Now, most of them are still around but not doing what they were doing in the past like coaching or playing. Now, they need to build a new strong team, a new strong mentality. This takes time. This has been the problem at Manchester United at the moment.”
“I keep track. It makes me sad for the club, the players. It’s not the moment of United. Maybe for next season, they can do much better.
“As a team, they are not a strong team. They must know that. Obviously, it’s still a young team too and maybe the club need to sign some top, experienced players to keep United among the best clubs in the world, with Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool.
“Because at the moment, we can’t compete with them because they are stronger. But in one season, everything can change.”
On Ole, “He’s been there in the past,”
“Obviously he has a different role now but he knows the mentality and how the club achieved what they have.
“But he has some good stuff to show the players, to change the mentality, to take them on the right way to fight for all the competitions. And try to be as quick as possible, the old United.”
