Sir Alex Ferguson has stated that he is not planning a major overhaul on his Manchester United squad, that won the club’s 20th League title this week.
The Scot suggested that he would only add two players to the team, as they will be looking to successfully defend their title next season.
“I don’t think that we need to rebuild at all – possibly two players, if possible. It depends of course. If a player came along that we felt met our criteria, I think we’d push the boat out and get him irrespective of how many players we had,” the United boss told reporters.
“Having spoken with the Glazer family [the owners] I think there’s every intention we want to kick on, yeah,” he added.
“It has been fantastic [gaining extra revenue from sponsors] and that’s credit to the commercial people, they’ve done a great job and of course the football team has been [the] platform for that. But they’re capitalising on such a great profile of the club – there’s no doubt, worldwide it seems to me to be getting bigger.
“We’re happy where we are at the moment, that’s for sure,” said the Scot. “We’ve attracted some really good sponsors, interesting and valuable partnerships because all the sponsors we’re combining with have got the same philosophies as ourselves in terms of trying to make their product the best in their business – that’s what we’re trying to do.”
