Souness slams Man Utd transfer policy: No patience or strategy

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has taken aim at the transfer policy of Manchester United.

Souness can't see any long-term strategy.

He told the Daily Mail: "...look at United. Moyesy signed Fellaini and Mata. Then Van Gaal spent big on Di Maria and Martial. Now it's £100million on Pogba. It's like there is no patience or strategy. What United had under Fergie, and Liverpool had during the great years, was to go out and buy a couple of players and it didn't matter if they didn't do it straight away. They could be absorbed and allowed to settle down.

"But United are having to buy players to be an instant success. They haven't got time. They are buying players under pressure and then those players are immediately under pressure. And that's hard."
