Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville is unconvinced by Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford.
Although the ex-defender has admitted to being 'more excited' by his old team's title prospects after the deal, he feels it papers over the cracks.
The 46-year-old told Sky Sports: "The Glazers have done what they normally do when they get put under pressure.
"They make two or three signings and basically, it shuts people up.
"I think there are deep-rooted issues at United.
"They couldn't let Ronaldo go to Manchester City. They've had it in the past with the likes of [Alexis] Sanchez when he was going to Man City and they stepped in.
"They had to step in at this point, whether they wanted to or not is another matter. No Man United fan can complain with the three players they've got this summer.
"I made the prediction on Monday Night Football that it would finish Man City, Chelsea and Man United I'm not going to change that.
"I don't think the Ronaldo signing makes them a better team than Chelsea, who won the Champions League last season, and Man City, who were 20 points clear."
