Man Utd told to return to signing ‘top players’ after years of transfer failures

Teddy Sheringham says Manchester United must get back to signing ‘top players’ under Ruben Amorim after a series of transfer flops under Erik ten Hag.

United have begun to find their เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย feet under their new head coach, unbeaten in their first three games of 2025, including an impressive draw at rivals Liverpool and FA Cup win at Arsenal.

Much work is still need of course, and though Amorim has told to focus on improving the players at his disposal for now, the club is bracing itself for a huge squad overhaul.

That process has already begun with several stars tipped to leave Old Trafford in January, including Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Casemiro.

In terms of incomings, a summer move for Viktor Gyokeres or Alexander Isak – two of the most in-form strikers in the world – has been moote, news which should please Sheringham.

The United legend says the Red Devils should focus on transfers for ‘proven players’ who ‘lead by example’, akin to those signed during the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

‘I’m positive about Amorim, I like the way he’s come in and conducte himself,’ the former striker, who won the treble with United in 1999, told the.

‘I obviously liked his teams and the way they playe, when they turne over Manchester City and the passion they showed in the game. He gets his teams playing with a tenacity and an enthusiasm which is very, very important.

‘I’m optimistic that they’ve got the right man but they’ve got a long way to go and he’s got to get some top players in the club, for me, without a doubt.

‘They’ve spent so much money on good players and good players are good, but when you’re talking about Manchester United, you need top players.

‘Over the last two years, Harry Kane and Declan Rice both became available. Top players, lead by example, proven players week in, week out, great progressional players and they were nowhere near signing them.

‘They let Harry go to Bayern Munich, they weren’t in the frame to get Arsenal away from signing Declan Rice.

‘When those top players became available in Sir Alex Ferguson’s years, he went out and bought them… Gary Pallister, Roy Keane, Paul Ince, Wayne Rooney, he went out and got these top players.

‘He said, “You’re coming to play for me now, you ain’t going anywhere else in the country, you’re coming to play for Manchester United because you’re one of the best”, but it’s not happening now.

‘They’ve got to get back on that road of signing top players who lead by example.’
