Gary Neville
has attacked Manchester United’s bizarre transfer policy after claiming
the sale of Danny Welbeck for just £16m is ‘strange’.
United have spent fortunes this summer to sign Falcao, Angel di Maria, Daley Blind, Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw and Marco Rojo.
Neville said: ‘It’s not the way I would expect United to go about their business, I thought it would be more controlled.

‘I can’t
work it out and I know I worked with Danny Welbeck last week [with
England], but it’s odd. I have to admit I thought the Danny Welbeck sale
was a strange one, but that’s just me.
‘Of all the prices paid this summer, there are right backs and left-backs galore who have been bought for £14m, £15m, £16m?
‘How
have Arsenal got him [Welbeck] for £16m? I can’t work it out. It has
helped out a competitor because Arsenal are the team they are fighting
for fourth possibly.
‘I am struggling to work out the logic, I can’t understand it. It’s odd in two or three ways.
‘Falcao
tipped them over the edge, it surprised and shocked everyone. How he
gets them in that team I don’t know. How they get Rooney, Di Maria,
Robin van Persie, Falcao, Herrera, Januzaj and Mata into that team I
don’t know.’
