"Manchester United" legend Ryan Giggs criticized the club's transfer policy, as his recommendations to sign Kylian Mbappe and Gabriel Jesus were not taken into account.
These snipers are considered some of the most talented young footballers. The French national team member will join "Paris Saint-Germain" next season for an impressive sum of 180 million euros, while the Brazilian also recently joined "Manchester City" for 33 million euros.
Both of their statistics are excellent and they have already established themselves in their teams despite one of them being only 19 years old, and the other just 20.
"I watched Gabriel Jesus play three years ago. I also watched Mbappe for years," Giggs told "The Times".
"I watched them together with a scout and their acquisition was not even questioned. It was simply "Get them". It would have cost 5 million pounds or so - get them and loan them back. That's where the acquisition process of the players could have been better."
Furthermore, Giggs believes that former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal also sold players that should not have been let go.
"There were many mistakes made, players who were not United players, and those who were United players and should not have left. I'm talking about Rafael, Welbeck, Jonny Evans - players who were United through and through."
"It was tough, because Louis had his ideas and you had to respect that. Nevertheless, yes, we had a few arguments about a couple of them. He understood it (my position - ed. note) because I played with those guys, but they just weren't for him."
"Some of them, for example, Welbeck, wanted to play more regularly, and Jonny had a few injuries at the time, so that can be understood, but in general, the player acquisition process was not perfect either."
After taking over the team, Jose Mourinho's "Red Devils" recovered and acquired Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku, and Nemanja Matic. Currently, they are in second place in the "Premier" league.
