Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson plans to spend more than
100 million pounds ($162 million) to revitalize his squad at the
end of the season, the Sunday Express reported.
The 69-year-old wants to ensure he leaves the 18-time English
soccer champion in a healthy state for whenever he retires and has
targeted six major signings, the newspaper said.
United will offer 30 million pounds for Tottenham winger Gareth
Bale, while Aston Villa’s Ashley Young is set to sign for 20
million pounds, the Express reported, without saying where it got
the information.
Sunderland’s Jordan Henderson, Everton’s Jack Rodwell and
Southampton winger Alex Chamberlain are also targets, while
Ferguson will spend over 10 million pounds on a goalkeeper to
replace Edwin van der Sar, the newspaper said.
