Gary Neville says Manchester United need to make five new signings following their draw against Manchester City.

The points were shared at Old Trafford as Man United and Man City played out a drab goalless draw on Sunday.

After the final whistle, Neville launched a stinging rant as he was critical of the way both teams played.

In his post-match press conference, Ruben Amorim fired back at Neville following his comments on Sky Sports.

Neville returned to the studio following his commentary gig and continued to rant about Man Untied as he told his old side to make five new signings to suit Amorim's system.

He claims the 'three up front' and the 'two wing-backs' are 'not good enough' to play in Amorim's 3-4-3 formation.

"From a United perspective, I get why he's gone back into a low block. But that's what we've seen from Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik Ten Hag," he explained.

"They've all come in with the intention of playing high-press, high-energy football, but all end up going back to a low block in big games.

"I do understand why Ruben Amorim's done that today, with the players he's got, because he hasn't got the players to adapt.

"They need five new players straight away before you even think about the rest of it.

"The three up front are not good enough and the two wing-backs, they're not good enough. They need five players. They need to serve him with five players who are good enough in this system to be able to play his system the way he wants."

So, Neville appears to be referencing the likes of Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu, who has only been at the club for a few months.

Hojlund, who joined Man United for £72 million, has scored just three league goals this season.

Dalot has struggled at wing-back, while Garnacho has been inconsistent. As for Dorgu, his form has been up and down since arriving from Lecce, with Martin O'Neill slamming his showing against Nottingham Forest.

Amorim has stuck with his favoured 3-4-3 formation since his appointment last November as Neville believes Man United need further reinforcements this summer following the addition of Dorgu during the January transfer window.

The Red Devils are 13th in the table and have won just two of their last eight league games.
