Ed Woodward promising more signings at Old Trafford

Manchester United’s vice-chairman Ed Woodward has told the club faithfuls that the club isn’t done yet in terms of shopping for players this summer, according to reports.

The Red Devils has already seen the club stump up big money (combined fee of £56million) for the signings of Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera from Southampton and Atheletic Bilbao respectively.

But it seems that Louis van Gaal and Co. are still keen to bring in a few more new faces at Old Trafford.

Manchester United has always been a favourite topic for the transfer tabloids. In recent times, the club, as always, has been linked to a host of names, the most prominent of whom were Arturo Vidal, Daley Blind and Thomas Vermaelen.

Speaking to United’s own TV network, MUTV, Woodward said: "There is no fixed budget. Financially we are extremely strong, we have funds available.

"Louis is the boss and is assessing what's going on but we have been in dialogue for some time about targets, so there is a lot of work going on behind the scenes... we're continuing to move forward on some of those targets... so watch this space.

"The time he (Van Gaal) spends here as well (in America) he'll be able to assess more what he's got and continue to tweak the decisions if we need to.

"We want to do what it takes to win the title."

Manchester United will be looking to give their full support to new boss Louis van Gaal. The Dutchman takes over the reigns of the club this season after the Red Devils experience their lowest league finish (seventh) in the Premier League era under David Moyes last season.

The Scot was duly sacked after just 12 months of service, as he failed to deliver even European football.

Woodward, however, feels that the lack of European football wouldn’t be much of a hindrance when it come to enticing their targets for a move to the ‘Theatre of Dreams’.

"I've experienced a lot of conversations with agents and players and we are still a huge attraction to top football stars around the world - there is no doubt about that.”, Woodward added.
