Gary Neville says Manchester United should bring in a replacement of similar quality if they are to sell Angel Di Maria.

Neville praised his former club’s transfers dealings so far this summer with Morgan Schneiderlin, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Matteo Darmian, Memphis Depay and Sergio Romero all arriving at Old Trafford.

However, the Sky Sports pundit argued United should look to cover the loss of Di Maria, who is reportedly close to securing a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

"United have done good business this summer on signings and value," he wrote on Twitter. "Have to be careful letting ADM go without an equal coming in first though."

Neville also expressed his excitement ahead of the new season with one early fixture in particular catching his eye.

"Season nearly here," he added. "Oh am I looking forward to the Villa v United Friday night game. Favourite away ground!"

The match takes place on Friday 14 August and you can watch it live on Sky Sports 1 HD with kick-off at 7.45pm.
