Former Newcastle United star Alan Shearer wants to see Manchester United sign top class players this summer.

The Red Devils are hoping to push forward and make a challenge for the league title next season.

And Shearer believes they need top players like Jack Grealish, Jadon Sancho and Harry Kane to do so.

"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was spot on when he said there could be a number of clubs forced into selling their big players for financial reasons," Shearer told The Sun.

"Whereas the majority will look to survive first before looking at transfer targets, Manchester United are in a different boat.

"And with their financial clout, they are in a good position to take advantage in future transfer markets once football is eventually back.

"To get anywhere near where they want to be then they need three, possibly four, big signings.

"I understand the talk of Jadon Sancho, I understand the talk of Harry Kane and I certainly understand the talk of Jack Grealish.

"Those three are exactly the types they need if they are to compete at the top again."
