Gary Neville wonders if Manchester United has the right people on his recruiting team to help Ole Gunnar Solskjaer make the right choices.

With a big change summer planned for Manchester United, Gary Neville – speaking on Monday night football – Ask if the club has the right people in its recruiting squad to help Ole Gunnar Solskjaer do the right thing to bring the club back to a Premier League challenge.

What does Ole need in summer?

He needs a lot of money, unless they can cash in someone who is worth it – there is David de Gea and Paul Pogba, who would have been courted by Real Madrid.

The two topics that worry me are De Gea and Marcus Rashford. There is talk that the two are not signing a new agreement, but I think Rashford will sign, no question.

They will have to throw money on it. However, this is not as serious as everyone says.

The work of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is to coach the team. He identifies the players he wants and the club gets the most value for the outgoing players and they bring in the right players.

It is a war of territory: agents, recruiters, consultants and clubs like Real Madrid seek to rebuild and invest heavily. Getting four or five players you want and getting the four or five that you want to go out is a very big job.

My concern is Ole: who will do it for him?

Manchester United: When do contracts expire?

"Little abyss in terms of recruitment"

This person may already be present, but the recruitment is a little abyssal.

I do not know who at the club could do the work necessary to put Manchester United in the league. Turning this team into a team capable of winning the title is a two-year job. I do not think they're going to get everyone that they want and I do not think they're going to get out those – it's going to take two years and a lot of patience.

The noise that emanates from Manchester United is that they will go back to their principles by signing the players who are about to hit their best. Those who have the ability to be the best in the world. This is the right approach.

What the club has done in recent years will require some clarification. It will take a little choice – it's Ole's main job. If the club comes back to the rhythm, power and counter-attacks, it will have to adapt the current group, but it will take time and work on the part of a qualified person to do it. .

Midfield departures?

Juan Mata and Ander Herrera are interesting. They are great professionals but it would not be the end of the world if they both left. On the other hand, with Herrera, it would be a waste.

If you have four or five central midfielders, you do not need that they are all A1. You need players who can do a good job. Herrera did a good job and was a great servant of the club, just like Juan Mata. These are losses in a way, but I do not think it's the end of the world if they move on.
