​Man Utd legend Robson: Mourinho needs to bring in flair players

Manchester United legend Bryan Robson believes the Red Devils will improve if they add 'flair players' to their squad.

Speaking to the club's website, Robson said: "When you look at the way Jose has turned club around, I know we won the FA Cup the year before, but he came in and brought in four new players who I think improved the team and improved the squad.

"So that went very well and then we got into a way of playing. Okay, we drew a lot of games at home but we weren't getting beaten.

"We are a difficult team to beat now and what you can do, if you set your stall out that way to be difficult to beat, is to then add a few flair players to that squad. All of a sudden, you're winning a lot more games than you're drawing. So I can see us up there challenging for the title next season."

United have begun their summer transfer signings by agreeing a fee with Benfica for centre-back Victor Lindelof.
