Former Manchester United star Paul Ince believes that Jose Mourinho will need to bring in three more players to Old Trafford this summer.

Following a disappointing campaign in the Premier League last season, United boss Jose Mourinho is widely expected to be strengthening his squad significantly over the summer and the Portuguese tactician has already brought in Victor Lindelof from Benfica for big money so far.

United are now set to focus their attention towards signing attacking players and ex-midfielder Ince has urged Mourinho to sign three more players who know their way to goal in order to address the Red Devils' goalscoring problems.

"I'd like to see him sign two or three – and I'd like those two or three to be able to come up with plenty of goals," Ince said.

"Another midfielder, ­preferably one that scores. And I'd like to see them sign another striker – an A-lister. They were so reliant on ­Zlatan last season. If you look at the really successful ­Manchester United teams over the past 20 years, then they used to get goals from all over.

"We had midfielders who scored goals. Giggsy, Scholes, Roy Keane, myself. We had ­defenders who scored goals – Steve Bruce, Gary Pallister. You could rely on Denis Irwin grabbing a few from left-back.

"Did anyone else get to ­double figures last season? Ander Herrera doesn't score enough. Juan Mata doesn't score enough. I know Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard are kids – but they don't score enough, ­either.

"And Jose's signed Paul Pogba. But if you pay ­£89million for a midfielder, then surely it's not too much to ask for him to find the net on a more regular basis? Whatever he [Mourinho] does, he needs some more goals. But he knows that."
