Former Manchester United star Louis Saha believes his old club need one other huge summer of investment in the event that they are to construct on the improvements they’ve made under Michael Carrick. <\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s shock home defeat against Leeds United represented a rare blot on the interim manager\u2019s copy book since he took over from Ruben Amorim in January. <\/p>\n

Despite that defeat, United remain well on track to secure Champions League qualification and would take a serious step towards achieving that objective should they gain a positive result at Chelsea on Saturday night. <\/p>\n

A return to Europe\u2019s elite club competition would, nonetheless, mean a far busier schedule next term and place huge demands on a squad that can play just 40 games this season following early Carabao and FA Cup defeats.<\/p>\n

United are already pressing ahead with plans to strengthen in central midfield in light of Casemiro\u2019s impending departure.<\/p>\n

The likes of Elliot Anderson, Adam Wharton and Carlos Baleba are all into consideration, but Saha has urged United\u2019s key decision makers to not neglect strengthening in attack. <\/p>\n

Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko have all enjoyed promising debut seasons at Old Trafford but the previous France international insists they’re in need of additional support. <\/p>\n

Saha is a large fan of PSG winger Desire Doue but believes Victor Osimhen is a more realistic goal.<\/p>\n

He told World Cup Betting<\/a>: \u2018If he was available, my dream signing for Man Utd can be Desire Doue. He\u2019s an incredible talent, and I actually love his confidence and his work rate. <\/p>\n

\u2018His potential is gigantic. That\u2019s why it will really be a matter of breaking the bank. He is sort of a young [Cristiano] Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

\u2018If you happen to ask me, the one I actually need is him. Perhaps the more realistic option can be Victor Osimhen to partner with Benjamin Sesko at some stage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018The Champions League goes to be huge for the club next season and we\u00a0have a necessity for a midfielder,\u00a0some really physical players there. Players like Declan Rice and Sandro Tonali, others will say someone to support Kobbie Mainoo.<\/p>\n

\u2018That is the balance that United need to search out, and midfield is amazingly vital. And perhaps one other form of playmaker, someone who’s unpredictable, someone who’s capable of complement Bruno Fernandes as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018For some games, a special form of setup shall be needed due to the opposition. So it\u2019s vital to have that right balance, and I believe those three additions are extremely vital.\u2019<\/p>\n

While Casemiro is unquestionably heading for the exit, one experienced campaigner in Harry Maguire will certainly be remaining. <\/p>\n

The England international defender put an end to any speculation surrounding his future by signing a brand new contract earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\u2018Harry Maguire earned that contract because he wanted it,\u2019 added. Saha. \u2018He desired to be there. He\u2019s a player that refused to go away. <\/p>\n

\u2018Critics and pundits, who think they know higher, never faced what Harry Maguire has faced.<\/p>\n

\u2018I used to be all the time certainly one of his supporters. I do know he played badly in some games and needed to do higher. But he was a straightforward goal since the system and culture weren’t there, the foundations of this club were diminished.<\/p>\n

\u2018The structure, for me, was the issue. So, Harry Maguire was a straightforward goal, and that\u2019s unfair. Since his debut, he\u2019s all the time shown up, never hidden. He claimed he’s probably the greatest in each boxes, and I believe he’s.<\/p>\n

\u2018To be totally honest, he\u2019s a pacesetter, never hides, and that is the form of culture that Man United must depend on. For that, he deserves his latest contract. I\u2019m sure many fans feel the identical, even when we’re all the time looking forward to younger players. He deserved it.\u2019<\/p>\n
