Neville says Man Utd must choose between Sancho and Grealish

Former Manchester United fullback Phil Neville believes they need to choose between Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish.

It comes amid planned summer transfer raids on Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Neville told Webby & O'Neill: "People talk about Grealish, now with Bruno Fernandes in there do we need another number ten?

"I think the right-hand side is the biggest area where we need to improve.

"We need an out and out right-sided winger. That's the one big hole in the squad.

"Sancho can play out there and can play it really, really well. He is someone that fits the profile.

"You think (Marcus) Rashford, (Mason) Greenwood, British players. And he is young and hungry. He fits into that."

He added: "For Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer) the recruitment is now massive. The recruitment last summer with Daniel James, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, they need to replicate that now.

"And I'm saying don't go out there and buy the best stars, go out there and buy characters and hungry players.

"That's what United have always been good at, buying hungry players."
