Reds chief executive David Gill says United's summer signings
are an indication of the club's ambition to build a team that will
achieve even more success in the future.
Speaking to United Review ahead of Sunday's Premier League opener
against Reading, Gill said that the club now had two of the most
exciting young players in the world in Nani and Anderson and that
their arrival, as well as that of Owen Hargreaves, have
strengthened the squad even further.
With Rooney still only 21 and Ronaldo 22, we can expect thrilling
years ahead at United," he added.
In a welcome note to fans to mark the start of the 2007/08 season,
Gill says he hopes the forthcoming campaign will be just as
exciting as the last.
Last season was a fantastic blend of flair, passion and tension,
he said. The eventual success wasnt without its moments of high
drama (remember going down 2-0 at Everton). But the manager has
always said that there is something about United teams that means
they like to do things the hard way.
Among Gill's highlights in 2006/07 were unforgettable moments such
as the wins over Bolton, John OSheas winner at Anfield and the
magnificent 7-1 thrashing of AS Roma in the Champions League.
And with more than 57,000 season tickets sold for this season, he
also took time to thank fans for their unrelenting support of the
club. Thanks for your continuing support," he writes. "Your
involvement has always been an integral part of the clubs success
and this campaign will be no different in that regard.
