Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has slammed Manchester United's scouting.

Redknapp wrote in the Telegraph: "United have scouts all across the world and yet they go to MK Dons last year, get beaten 4-0 in the League Cup, and no one seems to notice the teenage kid in central midfield who is the real deal. You would think someone might have said: 'They murdered us, who was he?" It was Dele Alli.

"Why didn't anyone at United spot the teenager who dominated them in midfield?

"Tottenham then got him for £5 million in the next transfer window while United, who had experienced exactly what he could do, have spent £35 million or £40 million on worse players."
