Alan Shearer believes Manchester United must sign Jadon Sancho, Harry Kane and Jack Grealish

Alan Shearer believes Manchester United need to sign Jadon Sancho, Harry Kane and Jack Grealish if they are to return to the pinnacle of the sport. 

The Red Devils have not won the league since Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013 or the Champions League since 2008.

Shearer thinks he knows what it would take to get United back to winning major honours again.

Everton have reportedly joined the race to sign Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish

The Newcastle legend told The Sun: ‘Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was spot on when he said there could be a number of clubs forced into selling their big players for financial reasons.

‘Whereas the majority will look to survive first before looking at transfer targets, Manchester United are in a different boat. 

‘And with their financial clout, they are in a good position to take advantage in future transfer markets once football is eventually back.

‘To get anywhere near where they want to be then they need three, possibly four, big signings. 

Juventus will reportedly turn their attentions towards a sensational move for Harry Kane

‘I understand the talk of Jadon Sancho, I understand the talk of Harry Kane and I certainly understand the talk of Jack Grealish.

‘Those three are exactly the types they need if they are to compete at the top again.’

Sancho will decide between United and Real Madrid after the England star ruled out joining Chelsea according to Spanish outlet Diario Madridista.

Whilst they will have competition to sign Kane as Juventus will reportedly turn their attentions towards a sensational move for the Tottenham ace as current striker Gonzalo Higuain stalls on returning to Turin.

Everton have reportedly joined the race to sign Aston Villa midfielder Grealish but the midfielder isn’t a priority signing for the Toffees this summer.
