Manchester United legend Gary Neville says there's no surprise his old club are struggling in the summer market.

Neville believes potential signings are taking advantage of United's desperate bid to improve their squad, which is ultimately causing Solskjaer and executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward a huge headache.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: "It's difficult to do business, it's not easy. Everyone knows Manchester United want players and price tags will go up.

"You've got to try and encourage players to come to the club. Players don't just jump to sign for any club - they do their homework and get their agents to get to work.

"They probably have 50 meetings before they sign for a club nowadays. Manchester United will be in the pit with the rest of the sharks looking for the big signings.

"It's difficult for all clubs they all want the same players. They all want Harry Maguire, every single club wants him. Everybody wants Christian Eriksen."
