'He's tough, and Manchester United need a tough manager': Gary Neville urges Old Trafford chiefs to 'pay big money' and make 'brutal' Diego Simeone their next manager

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has urged Manchester United to 'pay big money' in order to lure Diego Simeone away from Atletico Madrid.

The charismatic Argentinian helped Atletico defeat United 2-1 on aggregate in the Champions League, having secured a 1-0 win at Old Trafford last Tuesday.

Ralf Rangnick's side were not short on endeavour but lacked the guile to break down Atletico's trademark resilience as Renan Lodi's far-post header four minutes before half-time sent the Spanish champions into the last eight.
