Gary Neville worries that Manchester United are already falling behind in the summer transfer window while Liverpool and Manchester City continue to strengthen.
New boss Erik ten Hag was brought in to stop the rot at Old Trafford, but the Red Devils chiefs have yet to empty the pockets this summer on new talent.
Meanwhile, Erling Haaland has made a £51 million switch to champions Manchester City and arch-rivals Liverpool have spent upwards of £85 million on Liga Portugal top scorer Darwin Nunez.
Even Tottenham, their top four competitors next season, have lured Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster on free transfers.
