Ferguson has 'significant' funds for new United midfield

Manchester United commercial director Andy Anson today revealed that Alex Ferguson has been armed with a “significant” transfer kitty to rebuild his midfield – but confirmed no new funds would be made available from the club’s new sponsorship deal.

American International group will be United’s sponsors for the next four years after agreeing a British record £56.5m (€81.2m) deal, raising hopes among fans that Ferguson would be given more money to spend in the summer.
