Neville: There would be no point signing a replacement for Lukaku at Man Utd
Man utd news update live:
Manchester United great Gary Neville has explained what type of forward his old side should sign in the January transfer window.
"It won't be a gamble in January as United need to go into the transfer market at the earliest opportunity because they obviously didn't replace Lukaku," Neville told Sky Sports.
"Those young lads out there - Pereira, McTominay, Wan-Bissaka, Rashford - they have to still buy to a style of play. There would be no point signing a replacement for (Romelu) Lukaku that's the same type.
"I don't feel they want to play that way. They have to sign a striker to suit their style. Liverpool play with three mobile strikers - with Firmino who does a brilliant job, even when he's not going to get you 25 goals a season. You can find a striker that fits the style of play.
"I don't feel Solskjaer is looking for a Lukaku type or a (Diego) Costa. He wants to play a more mobile three or front two."
