|||London – Manchester United chief executive David Gill said on Wednesday that the Premier League champions have targeted “one more player” before the transfer window closes at the end of August.
Gill's words contradict those of his manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who said on Monday that he was unlikely to add to his three summer signings.
“We are looking at one more player to bring in,” Gill told the club's official website. “Nothing is happening and nothing is imminent but we will see what happens when we get home (from a pre-season tour).
“There will still be 31 days of the transfer window to see if anything develops. The important point to understand, and Alex has made clear, is that we need someone who is going to improve the quality of the squad.
“We have a great squad and to get into that squad you need to be a world class player. If you can't get the players you want, there is no point buying someone for the sake of it. But you never know, there is often movement in August.
“I am not saying I am working on anything specific because I'm not. But that situation could change quickly when we get back to Carrington.”
United had been linked with moves for Wesley Sneijder of Inter Milan and Arsenal's Samir Nasri.
The club has already spent more than 50 million pounds (81.9 million dollars) this summer on Aston Villa winger Ashley Young, Blackburn defender Phil Jones and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David de Gea. – Sapa-dpa
