Neville wants to see Harry Kane at Old Trafford

former star

Gary Neville

has talked about the club’s performance in the transfer market, claiming that if the Red Devils want to be considered among the title contenders in the Premier League, they must do everything they can to sign

high-profile striker

Harry Kane

.

He said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football:

"Chelsea, we've seen what they've done with [£97m signing Romelu] Lukaku. We've seen that [Virgil] Van Dijk has come back [from injury] for Liverpool and we know that Man City are in for [Jack] Grealish and Kane. If they get Kane, I think there's a massive problem for United.

"I'm struggling to understand why Manchester United aren't going that extra step this transfer window.”

Although the Red Devils have been so busy in the recent transfer window buying high-profile players in different positions, Neville insists that they need to take more steps in spending money to complete their mission. Manchester has signed

Jadon Sancho

and

Raphael Varane

from Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid, respectively.

"Sancho for 70-odd million was last year's money and I think with regards to Manchester United they've always gone after the best player in the Premier League, the best English player in the Premier League, or British player historically.

"[Anthony] Martial, [Daniel] James, [Jesse] Lingard – you're talking about potentially offloading a lot of wages there, potentially getting some transfer fees in.

"Why are they not going in for Harry Kane this week? 

"I think if Harry Kane entered Manchester United you could get up to 90-95 points. 

"Without him, they are still going to have to replace [Edinson] Cavani and Martial next summer – Martial is not going to do it, Cavani has only got one year left. 

"They are going to have to buy a center-forward at some point – why not get the man now and give Ole that impetus?"
