Former United defender says club need a few key signings this summer to help close gap on their great rivals
“The money is totally different in this day and age to where we were,” he says.
Whether Manchester United, or anyone, for that matter, can catch up with City next season is another matter. If the club can continue on its current trajectory, Irwin sees no reason United can’t aim for the Premier League title again. “Some ex-players said we’re too far away. But with some big additions, I don’t see why not.”
Another frontman that Irwin has been impressed by is Evan Ferguson. Prefacing his assessment of the teenager’s career thus far with his reluctance to put “too much pressure” on the young Brighton forward, Irwin nonetheless reserves high praise.
