Liverpool legend Steve McManaman feels Manchester United need to go on a mega spending spree this summer.

McManaman believes Louis van Gaal's side are not at the same standard as Chelsea, who need just two wins to clinch the title.

He told BT sport: "I think they are miles away, £150million away from winning the title. I have been disappointed with the way they have played. I think the fact that they played so well against Liverpool and Tottenham has rescued them. I expected them to play much better and be closer, as in they have never ever been anywhere near challenging for the title this year.

The European Cup winner added: "They have got a little bit closer at the end of the season as other teams have tailed off. So I expected them to be closer playing a better standard of football. To have no European football this year has helped them considerably."
