LONDON: Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson revealed yesterday that he is already plotting how to strengthen his squad during the close-season transfer window.
United secured the Premier League title last week, but with rivals Chelsea and Manchester City both expected to invest heavily in new players in a bid to bridge the gap next season, Ferguson says his side cannot afford to stand still in the transfer market.
“We’ve been doing a bit of work on that over the last three or four months, targeting who the players are that we feel could enhance us, make us better or help us maintain the level we’re at,” he told the club’s magazine, Inside United.
“Hopefully the players we bring into the club in the next year or so will be of the quality we need. We’re competitive in the market -- we’re not Chelsea or Manchester City in terms of money, but we’re competitive.” AFP
