Manchester United chief executive David Gill has said there will be no more signings for the club before the summer transfer window closes next week.
“I don’t think there will be any more new arrivals, no,” he admitted to Sky Sports. “We have looked at various players and are confident in the current squad we have at our disposal. We will progress with what we have now and Sir Alex will look to get the best out of them over the next few months."
Speaking at the Champions League draw in Monaco, where the Red Devils were favorably paired with Benfica, Basel and competition newcomers Otelul Galati from Romania, Gill stated his belief that the current squad was good enough for the club to challenge on all fronts.
“We are very happy with the squad we have - we made some great additions this summer and everyone is pointing out the young and vibrant look around our team. The most important person at the club is Sir Alex, though, and we look forward to a great season under him.
“Many other clubs have strengthened too, especially in England, but we feel we are well equipped for the many months that lie ahead of us.”
Giving his reaction to the draw, Gill said manager Sir Alex Ferguson had already indicated he was happy with United’s opponents for the group stages of Europe’s elite club competition.
“Sir Alex is happy with the draw, I have already received a text from him and he’s happy with who we have got," said Gill. "We have had great success in the last few years in the competition and we are looking forward to it again this year. This is the kick off to the European season and seeing all these big teams together means we are looking forward to it immensely."
