Gary Neville has hailed Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane as 'exciting' deals but warns that Manchester United must sort out their goalkeeping situation.
Sancho completed his £73 million move from Borussia Dortmund last month, finally ending United's protracted pursuit of the 21-year-old winger.
The Red Devils have are also set to bolster their defensive ranks with a deal for Real Madrid centre-back Raphael Varane set to be concluded. However, Neville is adamant that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's main focus now should be deciding on who the clubs first choice goalkeeper will be.
'I think Varane is really exciting. Sancho's exciting but it was almost inevitable that was going to happen,' Neville told Sky Sports. 'They needed to fill that right-wing spot. It's been a bit of a problem for the last year or two. I think demonstrating patience and getting him, to be fair, was a bit more measured.
'I think just sort the goalkeeping situation out, settle that down, decide who is going to be number one and United are in a good position defensively and Sancho can hopefully bring that balance that's needed in attack.'
Neville also praised United's transfer policy this summer and says his former club are starting to bring in the right kind of players to take the club forward.
He added: 'They're not getting players for the sake of it. Varane is exciting and I think last season, every United fan, every commentator, pundit, fan and analyst watched United and said, 'They need a partner for Harry Maguire', and they've got one.'
'If they can stay fit together, and obviously the two full-backs as well who have got great energy, both of them are great defenders – one of them is great going forward and Aaron Wan-Bissaka is definitely improving.'
De Gea has been United's No1 since signing for the club from Atletico Madrid in 2011, however his form has been inconsistent since Solskjaer took over as manager two years ago
Henderson established himself as a credible threat to De Gea's position after impressing during his two seasons on loan at Sheffield United. However the England star is a doubt for the start of the season as he is suffering with prolonged fatigue after testing positive for Covid-19 three weeks ago.
De Gea was reportedly set to be displaced by Henderson after a poor performance against Villarreal as United lost the Europa League final to the Spanish side, but he is set to between the sticks for United's first fixture of the Premier League season against Leeds on August 14.
Tom Heaton is also in contention to start, the 35-year-old returned to club after leaving Aston Villa earlier this summer.
