Purslow: 'Any old fool can buy footballers'

Former managing director of Liverpool Christian Purslow, says “any old fool can buy footballers” but the real challenge for Manchester United is selling those players back.

Purslow talks to Mark Chapman and Jonathan Northcroft about the situation that United face having failed to secure a win so far this season and with transfer deadline day looming.

Van Gaal’s side have just made a British record signing of £59.7 million for Ángel Di María, but Purslow says the issue is selling players that they may have “overpaid for in the first place”.
