David Gill has warned that Manchester United still have
money to spend.
Nani, Anderson and Owen Hargreaves have all arrived at Old Trafford
since the end of last season and United are still hoping to secure
Carlos Tevez from West Ham.
Gill insists it was a deliberate tactic to spend big in the
transfer window following United's Premier League success, to
intimidate rivals such as Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal.
But Gill maintains there are still funds available should Sir Alex
Ferguson wish to strengthen his squad further.
"There's always money there to invest in the squad," Gill told the
Daily Star.
"Over the years we've tried to invest when we've done well. We've
not rested on our laurels.
"And I think we've stolen a march on a number of clubs in getting
Nani and Anderson."
Meanwhile, Gill has hinted that Ferguson could stay as United
manager for several more years.
He explained: "As Alex said the other day, ultimately he will
retire, at which point hopefully the squad that his successor
inherits will be an extremely good squad.
"But we haven't even discussed it yet."
