Gill: We’ll fund signings

MANCHESTER UNITED chief executive David Gill has repeated that Alex Ferguson will have money to spend on new signings in the summer.

The mammoth debts built up by the Glazer family at Old Trafford have led to suggestions Ferguson is working on a reduced transfer budget, despite last year’s £80 million sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.

Ferguson has repeatedly stated that he still has a large bulk of that cash available for new players and has already agreed deals for Chris Smalling and Javier Hernandez to join United next season.
