Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal must splash out on at least 4 top signings before the close of the transfer window. That is the view of the club’s former first team coach Rene Meulensteen, who feels the current squad is not strong enough to mount a serious title challenge. Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, he warned: This is not going to be a quick fix. They have still got two weeks to go in this transfer window. They definitely need to maximise the opportunities in this window and probably in January as well.” “We need to strengthen at the back, we need to strengthen in midfield and that is foremost the two areas they need to look at. In my opinion, they need to bring in at least four top players to really crank up the level.” Meulensteen insists the players will get used to the new 3-5-2 formation, but has warned it may take a long time before Van Gaal’s methods start to work. The 3-5-2 system can work. Any system can work if you have the right players and the players are well embedded into the system. That is not the case yet. It is a process that has just started. They had a very good pre-season but this process will take a long, long time before they get back to where they want to be, which is a dominant United, which plays with pace and penetration, and all these ingredients are not there yet.
