GARY NEVILLE has slammed Manchester United's recruitment policy and pinpointed it as the route to the club's ongoing problems.
The former Red Devils full-back said there is a clear "inconsistency and lack of strategy" in the process.
And the facts show Red Devils fans may have good reason to believe the pundit.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, Man Utd have spent in excess of £550million and only have one Europa League trophy and EFL Cup to show for it.
Neville has repeatedly insisted the club's problems stem from the top - and the constant sackings of managers is no solution to it.
David Moyes and Louis van Gaal were dismissed by the Old Trafford top brass in short spells at the club.
While current boss Jose Mourinho is under increasing pressure following a dismal start to the season.
He told : "A lot of money has been spent on that United team. The reality is the recruitment has been poor for four or five years.
"There has been no consistency, strategy behind the recruitment. You have three or four different managers and different styles of managers' players in the same squad, where the club should always sign players that fits their profile.
"And then if the manager leaves, you will always have players who believe in the club system.
"And at the moment, I do not see that, you have a collection of different players from different managers who believe in different things and Jose is trying to work them into a unit and he is finding it very difficult."
Man Utd's last disappointment came on Wednesday as they were outclassed at home by Juventus in a 1-0 defeat.
Following the result, Mourinho's men now only have one win in their last seven outings.
They face Everton at Old Trafford at 4pm on Sunday.
