Man Utd news: Jamie Redknapp reveals why top stars will SNUB summer transfers
GETTY Jamie Redknapp believes Manchester United will struggle to attract players this summer
That’s the view of former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp, who believes Jose Mourinho’s side will not be able to attract flair players. Mourinho has come in for a large amount of criticism in recent months for his style of play at Old Trafford. It’s a style that’s getting results though. Despite being knocked out of the Champions League at the last-16 stage to Sevilla, the Red Devils sit second in the Premier League table and are through to the FA Cup semi-finals. But Redknapp believes it should be style over substance at Manchester United.

"Some might say it's the biggest club in the world, but if you're looking at going to play for Manchester United and you're a flair player - do you really want to go there at the moment with the way that they play?” Redknapp told Sky Bet. "You won't be looking at it saying 'that's a team I want to play for'- there's just no enjoyment in their play. “It doesn't sit well with the fans and that's why I think they'll miss out on some good players." Manchester United have lured Alexis Sanchez, Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Old Trafford in recent years.

Despite that, the club have failed to win the Premier League since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013. Pogba has come under huge scrutiny having failed to live up to his £89million price tag in recent weeks. Mourinho has frequently left the Frenchman on the bench, preferring to pick Scott McTominay in the heart of the midfield. And Redknapp believes it’s an issue that drastically needs sorting.
