Neville urges Man United to support Mourinho financially

According to him, the Centre back pairing is incapable of winning a premier league title.

Speaking after United’s shocking 3-2 defeat to Brighton the 43-year-old said on Sky Sports:

“He (Mourinho) is in his third season and I think he will feel extremely disappointed that he wasn’t supported in the transfer market,”

“You can’t leave a house three-quarters built. You have to finish it and complete the build. Then you can think about selling it or renting it because nobody is going to pick it up off you half-built.

“Manchester United have had a problem since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in the transfer market with David Moyes and then Louis van Gaal.

“You could argue £350 million to £400m of the £700m that has been spent has not been wasted, but it’s not value for money.

“He needs further investment. It’s obvious that he does and the club should support him in that because you can’t withdraw partway through a process. They have to go for it.

“It will get better and Manchester United will get stronger and won’t be easy to play against. I do think they will finish in the top four, but the top four historically has never been the benchmark of what Manchester United are. They have always judged themselves by Premier League titles.

“At this moment in time, that looks unlikely. Obviously it is still early in the season, but it does look unlikely that Manchester United are anywhere near good enough, as we sit here today.

“Forget everything else, that back four is not good enough to win a Premier League title. Let’s start and finish with that.

“The goalkeeper is the best in the world, the midfield is strong with Paul Pogba, Nemanja Matic, and Fred and up front there is Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and a lot of good players. But that back four looks like it will always cause problems and always concede goals. It doesn’t have authority and that is a problem.”
