Giggs warns Man Utd boss Mourinho: You need to buy

Wales coach Ryan Giggs believes Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho needs to be busy this summer.

Giggs is keen for his former side to press on this summer, and thinks Mourinho has correctly identified the areas in which he needs to strenghten.

"In midfield I'd like to see [an attacking midfielder] - we've been saying it for a long time, we thought [Paul] Pogba would be that attacking midfielder I would like to see," he said,.

"They don't grow on trees unfortunately, a [Luka] Modric, a [Toni] Kroos type who can keep the ball.

"Also I think a centre half we need. All the successful United teams over the years – [Gary] Pallister, [Steve] Bruce, Jaap Stam, [Rio] Ferdinand, [Nemanja] Vidic – they've always had top class centre halves.

"Again, they don't grow on trees. Who do we get, I don't know, but I think a midfielder and centre half are vital."
