The veteran tactician claims that he will go head-to-head with the London giants in order maintain the club’s prowess in the transfer market.
Old Trafford has been buzzing this summer with new arrivals, as Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 and Nick Powell in June.
Manchester United have been frugal when it comes to spending in the market during the last couple of seasons, but it seems that Ferguson has finally realized that there is great need for new recruits at the helm.
Kagawa was lured in from Borussia Dortmund, while Powell arrived after impressing onlookers in League One. Both are talented enough to aid the Red Devils’ cause, but it seems that the Scot is still intent on signing more players.
Among the names being linked with a switch to Manchester are Brazilian starlet http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380.
There is a good chance that both of them could be arriving soon, with Ferguson claiming revealing that it was important to match the likes of Chelsea in the transfer market, so that the gap on the field is limited.
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s owners have got their enthusiasm back after winning the Champions League, there’s more expectation on them now. That was the trophy Roman Abramovich always wanted, so he’s invested in the team again this summer.”
“It’s a challenge for us, and we always respect Chelsea. You just have to wait and see how good these players are. We’re not lying on our backsides doing nothing – we’re trying hard to bring other players to the club,” he said.
Furthermore, the former Aberdeen boss also revealed that he was on the verge of signing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044, after the striker was not given a new contract at Stamford Bridge, but in the end the Ivorian decided to try his luck overseas.
"The decision was his anyway and he said if he was going to leave Chelsea, he wouldn't play for another club in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. So that answered that question."
United are incidentally set to play Drogba’s new team, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shanghai-Shenhua-c40497 tomorrow, with Fergie’s troops aiming to maintain their decent tour form.
