Red Devils target another 'world-class' signing
Manchester United chief executive David Gill has confirmed the club are looking to bring in one more 'world-class' player this summer.
The Red Devils have already been very active in the transfer market, signing goalkeeper David De Gea to replace Edwin van der Sar and also adding England winger Ashley Young and Under-21 international Phil Jones.
Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted there are unlikely to be further new faces before the Community Shield at Wembley on 7th August, and Gill confirmed that any arrival will not be occurring in the coming days.
But the Old Trafford supremo has moved to reassure supporters that the Premier League champions will continue to be active until the window closes at the end of next month.
"Edwin made it known that last season would be his last so we had planned for a new goalkeeper well in advance. With the others, the opportunities came along and we were comfortable with that," he told
MUTV.
One more
"So we've made three signings. We're looking at one more player to bring in.
"Nothing's happening - nothing imminent - on that at the moment, but we'll see what happens when we get home.
"There'll still be 31 days of the transfer window to see if anything develops. But I'm not working on anything at the moment, in that respect."
Gill revealed that Ferguson is keen to strengthen one particular area of his side, with a creative midfielder strongly rumoured to be on his wish-list following Paul Scholes' decision to retire.
Arsenal's Samir Nasri and Tottenham playmaker Luka Modric have both been mooted as possible targets, while speculation continues over the future of Inter Milan ace Wesley Sneijder.
World-class
And while Gill would not identify targets, he did admit that only players of the highest calibre will be under consideration for the 19-times English champions.
He added: "We've been looking at a particular position and two or three players in that position, but nothing's imminent at the moment.
"The important point to understand, and Alex has made it clear, is that we need someone who's going to improve the quality of the squad.
"We've got a great squad and to get into that squad you need to be a world-class player. There's no point, if you can't get the players you want, in buying someone for the sake of buying someone.
"But you never know - there's often movement in August. I'm not sitting here saying I'm working on anything specific because I'm not, but that situation could change quickly when we get back to Carrington."
