Louis Saha has advised Manchester United to sign three players this summer including a ‘dominant’ midfielder and another striker to support Benjamin Sesko.

United are on course to qualify for the Champions League this season after climbing to third in the Premier League under caretaker manager Michael Carrick.

The Red Devils have never struggled to entice players to Old Trafford but qualifying for the Champions League will certainly help them to beat rivals to summer deals.

Manchester United spent almost £200m on Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens last summer and all four have enjoyed promising first seasons at the club.

United will hope to secure more shrewd deals come the summer, with Saha of the opinion that midfield reinforcements are the priority.

The Old Trafford squad looked short in midfield even before an in-form Casemiro announced in January that he was leaving at the end of the season.

Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba have all been heavily linked with the Manchester giants and Saha wants to see a ‘similar type’ of player to Arsenal’s Declan Rice arrive through the doors.
