“Sir Alex, you know that player you wanted….” David Gill insists money is available for Old Trafford additions.

Manchester United chief executive David Gill insists there is money available should Sir Alex Ferguson want to dip into the transfer market.
The Red Devils have not splashed out so far this summer with certain sections of the supporters becoming frustrated that the owners of the club are not freeing the necessary funds for a big-name signing.
This comes after the Old Trafford outfit opted to sell star man Cristiano Ronaldo for a big fee last summer, but have not used the money to go back into the market.
United have spent £20million on new players already though, with former Fulham defender Chris Smalling and Mexico striker Javier Hernandez agreeing moves earlier in the year.
The likes of Germany playmaker Mesut Ozil, Holland midfielder Wesley Sneijder and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema have all been linked with a switch to Manchester, and Gillhas reiterated that manager Ferguson has money to spend.
“The money is there if we believe there is a player who can improve what we believe is a very good squad,” he told the Manchester Evening News.
“The team has been together for a number of years and done very well. In order to improve it a player has to be of a very high quality.” (Sky Sports)
With the exception of Manchester City this transfer window hasn’t quite taken off as yet and even though Manchester United have picked up something of a bargain in Mexican international Javier Hernandez they may well be thinking of further additions and have been linked with a plethora of talent so far this summer. David Gill must be at pains to try to persuade the club’s supporters that the mountain of debt brought to the club will not affect Sir Alex Ferguson’s plans to bring in new additions, but surely it must have some effect?

if fergie gets ozil and defour that means trouble for the rest of the league, exactly what utd need to strengthen their midfield. doubt benzema will be signed as his future is unsure following the 16 yr old hooker scandal but he would be a greta signing if he was in the clear

ozil 15mil.
defour 13mil.
akinfeev 8mil.
it adds up to 36milthat solves our lack of creativity in midfeild (ozil). when VDS retires next year we have a good young back-up (akinfeev). and then we have a gritty controlling midfeilder ( defour).

Ozil and Suarez.
How can you not go for suarez he scored about 35 goals last seasos. How can you not go for him.
I guess everyone knows how much Ozil can do now after a successful world cup

Suarez is good, but you cant base last season on why united should sign him.
Yes he had ONE good year but lets be honest, the Dutch league is closer in standard to the SPL,
……..Suarez is good but overpriced!!!!!!
Wish Forlan was given a chance, even when Rooney came in.
Imagine that strike paternship now????

wERE NOT BUYING ANY ONE how can you listen to this bullshit. we cant afford any one we got keep paying yanks. United were once a team that got there man not any more. Were not in the same league as city and chelsea. Only people who are coming are unproven youngsters

If Ferguson is being offered the money for a big transfer, as Gill claims, then why is Ferguson not buying a decent player like Ozil whose transfer fee has been cut to a very reasonable amount? So far it’s all talk by Gill and no action. Action please. Sign Ozil & stop the guff.

TBH I think when the veterans retire we’ll see if we have money, if he doesn’t replace them then we have our answer. And SAF like’s dealings low key and usally towards the end of the window so fingers crossed but I doubt it.

Defour and Ozil the formula for success, but we need a striker Bernzema will be good at the right price . However Sanchez from Chile is a must for Man Utd next year as a replacement for Giggs.

Show me the money! If you dudes cannot even afford £10m for Ozil, then something is seriously wrong!

UNITED HAVE GOT NO MONEY YOU MORONS HOW MANY TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!
In the past look at the signings lots of them for mega bucks now there are just unproven youngsters coming. the money united make laces the pockets of debt ridden yanks. this is not going to change soon. We have had a good run with them still in charge but the wheels are slowly coming off. United have to keep scholes and giggs they should be having a well earned rest or earning mega bucks playing soccer in the land of the free lol! all this speculation of buying Ozil and Benzeema its all bollocks no one is coming to the rescue. We’ll be lucky if we hold on to key players in the seasons to come

SAF isn’t a fool, he knows whats best for the club. City are doing just the same as Chelsea and we overcame that little spending spree. Reality is you can’t buy the passion and commitment needed to score in the last minute 3 times in one season. Those new boys at City are not there to make history they are there to take the money and no matter what the result they will still get a big fat cheque at teh end of the week. We may win nothing this season but one thing is for sure SAF will not be dragged into a spending tug of war and we don’t have the hackers to compete for these signings anyway. Valencia has had a season to settle in, Nani has finally come to the party and we have Wayne. We will always be there or there abouts so be happy with what we have, the premier league is our priority and I think you won’t see daft results against poor opposition this season. Keep the faith.
