Manchester United could challenge Liverpool and Manchester City with three big signings, according to Robbie Savage.

Manchester United could challenge for the Premier League title if they sign Kalidou Koulibaly, Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish in the summer transfer window. That’s according to Robbie Savage who thinks Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is not that far away from having a title-winning squad.

United have struggled this season but are somehow just three points behind Chelsea in fourth.

Solskjaer has had to deal with a number of injuries to key players with Marcus Rashford possibly out for the remainder of the season.

But Savage thinks with there major signings, United would have the tools to really challenge the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.

He told the Mirror: “If Solskjaer was handed £250 million to go out and sign central defender Kalidou Koulibaly, playmaker Jack Grealish and Jadon Sancho up front, Solskjaer’s best team would be capable of giving Liverpool and Manchester City a run for their money next season.

“In an earlier column this season, I said United were miles away from Liverpool and City.

“But if they can beat other clubs to those major signings – and Champions League football would be the best way to do that – I now think a return towards the top end is achievable with one good summer in the transfer market.

“Before you rush for your keypads to disagree, consider the facts.

“This season, United have beaten Chelsea three times. They have beaten City twice. They have beaten Tottenham.

“And they are the only side to have taken a point from Liverpool in the Premier League.

“If they had beaten teams nearer the bottom, in matches where they were expected to take home all the spoils, instead of sitting three points off the top four, they would be right on course for Champions League football next season.

“As it is, Solskjaer could finish in the top four, win the FA Cup – where United face a reunion with Wayne Rooney against Derby in the fifth round – and I expect them to progress in the Europa League after Thursday night’s 1-1 draw with Bruges in Belgium.

“He’s had one good transfer window where he landed Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James. Now he’s one good window away from putting out a team in his own image.

“All of a sudden, the path to redemption is beginning to take shape.”

United return to action on Sunday when they take on Watford in the Premier League on Sunday.
