Manchester United legend Gary Neville says the midfield needs to be rebuilt after Sunday's 3-3 draw at Sheffield United.
Their midfield duo of Fred and Andreas Pereira - playing in the injury absence of Scott McTominay and Paul Pogba - looked ill-equipped for the work ethic and muscle of Sheffield United's side.
Old Trafford legend Neville told Sky Sports: "The midfield's just a problem for United full stop, let's be clear about it.
"Even with Scott McTominay in it's a problem. They haven't strengthened in that area, obviously Pogba's injured.
"It's a problem for them and it's just not good enough, the midfield just doesn't have good enough quality.
"They need a striker, they need two midfield players, they need a left-back - they need five or six signings.
"They can't do that until January and obviously the summer but the midfield will not go away as a problem for Manchester United just because of an injury.
"It's a problem full stop - it needs strengthening."
