‘Furlough clubs should face transfer ban’ – Man Utd legend Neville hits out amid talk of Kane and Sancho deals

Any Premier League club seeking to cut costs during the coronavoris crisis and take advantage of the government’s furlough scheme should be stung with a transfer embargo, says Manchester United legend Gary Neville.

Tottenham are the most high-profile club to have revealed that will be looking for assistance when it comes to covering the wages of non-playing staff. Liverpool had also taken that decision, but have since reversed that decision after attracting widespread criticism.

Neville believes those looking for handouts should be prevented from spending in the next window, with it a serious contradiction to suggest that there is not enough money in the pot one minute and then look to splash the cash on new recruits a few weeks down the line.
