UK Back Pages: Gary Neville Blasts Manchester United Transfer Spree

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has ripped into his former club's transfer policy this summer, according to Thursday's back page of the Daily Star.

More on that story from the Daily Mail, who have Neville pinpointing United's sale of Danny Welbeck to Arsenal as a tipping point.

Commuter paper Metro is on the same theme, with Welbeck's sale again the focus. "You got him Wel cheap" is their genius headline.

More Manchester United from The Sun, who say Louis van Gaal has been told he must take the club to at least a third-place finish in the Premier League this season.

The Independent, meanwhile, are focused on the affairs of Manchester City and the apparent non-application of financial fair play rules in their direction.

Spurs take top billing on the back page of the Mirror, with the suggestion they're up for sale with a price tag of around £1 billion.

Finally, a Rugby World Cup tickets story from The Daily Telegraph, who claim criminal gangs could ruin the fun for regular punters next year.

And that's your lot for Thursday's back pages.
