Peter Crouch has warned the Glazers that the signing of Jadon Sancho will not appease the anger of Manchester United fans.
The Red Devils confirmed they had reached an agreement in principle to sign England international Sancho from Borussia Dortmund.
United fans held multiple protests against the club's owners towards the end of last season, and Crouch thinks they will still be angry despite the addition of Sancho.
Crouch told Paddy Power: "It's the summer transfer window and that means Manchester United will be linked with some of the biggest names on the planet.
"This year it's Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Eduardo Camavinga. They've got loads of cash to spend and it looks like they might actually use it this time.
"Sancho seems to be a done deal from Borussia Dortmund for £73m, but big-money transfers won't change United fans' perception of the Glazer family.
"The owners' problems are too deep-rooted to be solved just by spending a few quid. They cannot buy the fans' happiness.
"Look, it's a positive step and I think United fans will love Sancho, but the damage has been done over the years and looks impossible to rebuild.
"They've spent loads of money on players before, but recruitment has been poor. How many average centre backs do they have?
"Edinson Cavani is class but he's not a long-term solution. Their entire way of running the club is what angers United fans."
