PETALING JAYA: Former Manchester United star Teddy Sheringham has lamented over his former club’s current approach to player acquisitions and highlighted a perceived lack of leadership on and off the pitch.

Sheringham pointed out that United missed the opportunity to secure the services of English talents Harry Kane and Declan Rice when they were available in the summer, and reminisced about a time when the club’s pursuit of top players knew no financial bounds under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson.
