Gary Neville has unloaded on former club Manchester United and called their planning for the transfer window "appalling."
The European window closes on October 5 and United still want to get deals over the line for Jadon Sancho and Alex Telles.
However, Neville thinks United have failed during the "easiest" transfer window in recent history.
"It's appalling that in this market which is probably the easiest in PL history to get transfers done that United haven't done more yet!" he explained on Twitter.
"They must get Ole [Gunner Solskjaer] a centre back, left-back and forward pre deadline! The others are managing to get things over the line why not United!"
Donny van de Beek remains United's only signing so far and former Red Devils captain is furious at the lack of planning.
When one fan asked him about the worry of a panic buy, he replied: "Panic Buy! They've needed these positions filling for 12 months, had a national lockdown to regroup and re-set and ample time to manoeuvre deals to a conclusion."
It’s appalling that in this market which is probably the easiest in PL history to get transfers done that United haven’t done more yet ! They must get Ole a CB , LB and Forward pre deadline! The others are managing to get things over the line why not United !

Neville then retweeted an article in which Sevilla sporting director Monchi slammed United for not having a director of football.
The transfer window opened on July 27 and top six rivals such as Chelsea were making moves prior to the window opening.
Liverpool and Manchester City have strengthened while Tottenham Hotspur re-signed Gareth Bale on loan.
Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof remain United's central defence duo and Neville thinks they are not a title-winning partnership.
"Over the years, the best Man United centre back partnerships have always had that really quick one," Neville explained on commentary during opening day defeat to Crystal Palace.
"Whether it be Jaap Stam or Rio Ferdinand or Gary Pallister - who has lightning pace to get across and snuff out the danger.
"Lindelof and Maguire just don't have that."
Do you think Manchester United will make any signings before the transfer window slams shut?
