Former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has told Ruben Amorim the areas of the squad he needs to desperately strengthen.
The Dutchman told : “Manchester United need consistent performances.
"This year getting back into the Champions League is probably not going to happen - the top four is too far away with too many teams in front.
“With a good pre-season and one or two quality signings up front and maybe in midfield, United should be fine to challenge for those positions again.
“In terms of signings, nowadays they have good people on board, technical people.
"I'm sure they are qualified to get the right people in the door.”

"Money doesn't motivate me. I'm just a youngster and I still hang out with my people. I made this decision because I think it's the best one and I'll make sure it is.
"I don't think it's a backwards step for me. I'm moving to a competitive league and there are many stars here.
"There are many people who have a different idea about the league, but in general these people are thinking things that aren't right.
"As for people who are saying this is a backwards step, I'll prove myself on the pitch. On the pitch is where I'll do my talking."
