Paul Ince has warned Manchester United that they are facing 'a lot of issues' next season unless they splash the cash in the summer.
United were forced to settle a point against old foes Leeds at the weekend but are still set to secure a Champions League spot for the next campaign.
The club have been handed a headache ahead of the transfer window opening, however, with several players set to exit - and Ince says that spending money will be crucial to avoid a drop in form.
'They are not as far off as we thought two years ago,' Ince told Sky Sports.
