Glazer behind United’s quest for success, says Gill

MANCHESTER UNITED chief executive David Gill insists the club’s new owners are prepared to invest in the team to further the Red Devils’ quest for success.

When Malcolm Glazer completed his controversial £790million Old Trafford takeover in the summer, many claimed the American’s debt burden would prevent him from handing Alex Ferguson a transfer kitty big enough to allow United to challenge Chelsea.

While there has been no massive signing since Glazer’s buyout, Edwin van der Sar, Park Ji-sung, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra have arrived at a combined cost of over £18m.
