David Gill Next Quotations

As a result we have now spent next summer's transfer budget unless players are disposed of to realise cash for re-investment.

Would we prefer to be lifting it? Of course we would. You can't look back, we have to look forward and say what are we going to do get it back next year.

Alex will remain in charge next season. Why would we change a winning team? These are exciting times for Manchester United. We have just announced a record-breaking sponsorship deal, we're in the process of increasing the stadium capacity to 76,000 and the team is making great strides on the field. The manager is a key part of that and his future is not up for discussion.

Namely the manager will assess what he believes a player is worth and he will discuss that with the board and then we will go after that target. If we can achieve it at that target, great, but if we can't we will have to move on to the next player.

We certainly believe he will be staying with the club next year. He signed a new long-term contract and there is two further years to go on that. He is part of our squad which we are looking to improve in the summer.
