Manchester United fans reckon there are more pressing needs than buying a £150m striker as Gary Neville urged his former side to acquire the services of the Tottenham Hotspur player instead of City.
While speaking on Monday Night Football, Neville suggested that United need to be going the ‘extra mile’ in the transfer window by signing Harry Kane as Anthony Martial can’t be relied upon.
Here’s the reaction on Twitter –
Neville’s plea

Prioritize Haaland
I don't support Gary Neville saying Man United should try and sign Harry Kane this summer. Cavani and Greenwood can fill that hole until next summer when we prioritize Haaland.

8 more days to go and the priority should be a DM — Ruben Neves or Bissouma.
Greenwood’s development
The excuse they made when Ole sold Lukaku was that Romelu was in the way of Greenwood’s development.

All of a sudden, Neville is caping for a 28 year old striker that would come and stand in the way of Greenwood yet again.
I can see why Neville failed massively at Valencia. https://t.co/bUsP98XtY6
The gaping hole in midfield
Neville saying we need a striker😂 While ignoring the gaping hole in the midfield. No wonder you failed as a manger and will never do it as a top coach @GNev2

Why is Neville talking about buying Kane for £150 mil when we’ve got a glaringly obvious need for a decent CDM??? Forwards are not our main concern at the moment

Gary Neville is so good and bad on MNF, obsessed with saying we need Kane completely ignoring that we need a DM more but then he makes up for it with some Martial slander which is always nice

How the Alexis Sanchez move turned out
Gary Neville is asking why Man Utd aren't in for Kane this week 😴😴😴

Yawn… We've seen this before. We all know how the Alexis Sanchez move turned out. Sign players that want to play for you, not because you're paying them the most.
Strange decisions
Neville does talk some bollocks don't he? Go for Kane bla bla bla. He wouldn't get the ball because our midfielders would be putting the ball into the Stretford end every game. That said, Utd have always made strange decisions so I wouldn't put it past them.

Kane and Neville’s friendship
Neville and Kane obviously have a good relationship. All this tells me is that Kane is losing hope a deal with City can happen and would prefer to be at United than go through this season with Tottenham.
