Fans of Manchester United did not all agree with the opinion of their former captain regarding the players that the club ought to acquire.
According to the Premier League standings, United is currently in thirteenth place, and they will be playing Tottenham Hotspur away on Sunday.
Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu, both of whom are young players, were brought in during the winter transfer window. This is the only two players that Ruben Amorim has brought in so far this season.
With that being said, it is arguable that Amorim, who is forty years old, has not been able to spend the money on signings that he may have hoped for when he first joined the club in November.
On the other hand, Gary Neville, a former captain of Manchester United, has shared his thoughts on who he believes the Red Devils ought to sign this summer. According to Neville, the player in question is a former teammate of his.
Neville, who is 49 years old, suggested that the club re-sign Danny Welbeck, who plays forward for Brighton.
Over the course of this season, the former England international has made 19 appearances for the Seagulls in the Premier League, where he has scored six goals and provided four assists.
Before signing with Arsenal in 2014, Welbeck, who is now 34 years old, worked his way up through the ranks at Manchester United and made 142 appearances for the team.
The statement was made by Neville to Sky Sports on Friday evening. “He was let go at United too quickly,” he said. In the case of Louis van Gaal, his playing style is characterised by a high degree of precision.
As a result of the fact that Danny Welbeck was not very precise in his game at the time, Van Gaal basically just let him go. He had absolutely no interest in him at all.
On the other hand, he serves as the ideal example of how Manchester United should play. This player is playing off the front players and threatening space behind them. Nothing could be further from the truth than the notion that he is not qualified to play for Manchester United.
“He is capable of being included in a group of three or four strikers at Manchester United,” the manager said. Among their forward line, Liverpool, for example, has three, four, or even five players who are considered forwards. Every single one of them possesses a unique set of skills and characteristics.
It is arguable that Neville is correct, despite the fact that the signing of a forward who is 34 years old and who left the club eleven years ago might not be as exciting as a transfer that cost a lot of money.
Due to the fact that Welbeck has scored six goals in the league this season, he has done more than Rasmus Hojlund, who has scored two league goals, and Joshua Zirkzee, who has scored three league goals, combined.
On the other hand, there were some fans who disagreed and spoke their minds on social media.
Welbeck has moved on, according to one. We proceeded with our lives. The discussion has come to an end.”
A different individual stated: “And this is why Gary Neville was a bad manager, so anything he says do the opposite.”
The third person made the following observation: “Why would Welbeck want to go to a club that is struggling in the bottom half of the table?” Brighton is currently in a league of their own, surpassing Manchester United; you would be better off playing for Everton.
A fourth individual elaborated, saying, “It would be better to sign Wayne Rooney… Gary Neville is in a fierce competition with Rio Ferdinand and Paul Scholes to be the worst former player who played for Manchester United and is now working as an analyst.
