'Don't three-quarters build your house' - Neville attacks Woodward's lack of Man Utd spending

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has hit out at club chief Ed Woodward for not backing Jose Mourinho in the transfer market.

Mourinho failed to bring in a new centre-back during the summer transfer window, leaving the Red Devils boss frustrated with his team's lack of action.

United had been linked with a number of defenders including Yerry Mina, Harry Maguire and Toby Alderweireld, but Mourinho was forced to start the season with the same centre-backs as last year.

Former defender Neville was not happy with Woodward's decision not to give Mourinho the money he wanted for transfers, claiming that the club should support him fully on and off the field.
