Gary Neville ranks 24 of Man Utd's post-Alex Ferguson signings as 'red' with £1.25bn spent

Gary Neville has laid bare Manchester United's struggles since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement by taking aim at the club's transfer policy.

Over the last nine years, United have spent £1.25bn on new recruits, including more than £50m this summer on fees for Tyrell Malacia and Lisandro Martinez. Results remain poor, though, with United posting their lowest ever Premier League points total last season and beginning the new campaign with two defeats from two.

Manager Erik ten Hag was promised five summer signings but so far only has three, and is after more new faces sooner rather than later. However, based on the record of the last 33 men to join the club, the Dutchman will need his recruits to buck the trend.
