Manchester United Transfer News: Sir Alex Targets at Least 1 More Signing

With new signings Shinji Kagawa and Nick Powell unveiled at Old Trafford yesterday, one of the first questions fielded to manager Sir Alex Ferguson was essentially, "Is this it?"

"There will possibly be one more" was his response.

This will come as a relief to United fans who appreciate the need for revamping the club in the wake of finishing the season trophy-less for the first time in years.

Sir Alex pointed to the recent European Championships for any delay in completing deals (via Manutd.com).

"When there's a major international tournament on there's a delay in the transfer market. But now the European Championships are over we're trying to bring someone in."

However, the Scot was unwilling to state which positions he was targeting.

According to The Mirror, Brazilian starlet Lucas Moura and Everton full-back Leighton Baines top the list of potential acquisitions, with a move for Arsenal's want-away striker Robin van Persie growing increasingly unlikely.

Despite the club's heavy debt burden, the United manager's comments suggest that there are more funds to spend on players if he wishes to do so.

What is more worrying for United fans is the lack of interest shown by other clubs in the players Sir Alex wishes to dispose of.

As yet, no club has made an approach for United's odd man out, Dimitar Berbatov, who has already publicly stated his desire to find new pastures (via The Mirror).

However, it appears increasingly likely that fringe players Anderson and Federico Macheda will also stay, both having given interviews with Manutd.com over the past couple of days ago expressing their excitement for the new season.
