MANCHESTER UNITED legend Gary Neville has identified FOUR key positions manager Erik ten Hag can improve this summer.
Neville says United need to first sort central midfield before turning their attention towards a centre-back and then looking at the full-back positions.
Gary Neville has identified four areas where Man Utd can improve
Neville told United's website: "Central midfield is an absolute necessity. An absolute necessity.
"Manchester United need midfield players. They also need a centre-forward.
"I know Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to stay and he's an absolutely brilliant performer, but they need a centre-forward. Centre-forward is a must."
Neville continued: "I think there'll need to be a wide player, just to beef up the squad, and I think full-backs are absolutely critical in the modern game.
"[There are] four full-backs there, it'll be interesting to see which two, three or four of those are liked."
Ten Hag could look to improve on his midfield options this summer, especially with the exits of Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Nemanja Matic and Juan Mata.
All are leaving at the end of their contracts.
Ten Hag has been linked with a move for Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong.
The pair worked together at Ajax before Barca sealed a big money move for the Dutchman.
West Ham's Declan Rice has also been constantly linked with a move to Old Trafford.
But the Hammers captain is being quoted at £150million.
And after Aurelien Tchouameni's £85m-plus move to Real Madrid, West Ham will feel their price tag is justified.
