‘Man Utd need four or five transfer windows to get things absolutely right’ – Neville says there is no ‘shortcut’ back to the top

The former Red Devils captain predicts his old club won't be ready to challenge for the Premier League title until 2021-22 season

Gary Neville has insisted patience is the key for Manchester United after more stinging criticism in the wake of their shock defeat to Crystal Palace.

United suffered a surprise 2-1 home loss to Palace at the weekend, having started the new season with a home victory over Chelsea and draw at Wolves.
