"Man Utd" hopes to acquire another football player © EuroFootball.com

The executive director David Gill has confirmed that the club will seek to acquire another football player this summer. A few days ago, coach Sir Alex Ferguson said that no purchases are planned at least until mid-August. Gill added that they could be expected in the second half of the month. "We are looking for another player," Gill said on MUTV. "Nothing is happening at the moment, so there won't be any quick decisions, but we'll see what happens when we return from the United States. The transfer window will remain open until the 31st, so there will be enough time. The most important thing is that the newcomer strengthens the team - he must be of world-class level. There is no point in buying just for the sake of buying." It has been said that "Man Utd" will be looking for a replacement for midfielder Paul Scholes.
