Not Real Madrid or Barcelona who have 'exclusive right' to break the world record, but the new manager of Manchester United, Louis van Gaal has been informed that he will be given the power to also break the world record by bringing in the best players of his choice.
"This is not about to break the world record again, but to bring the world's best selection of van Gaal ... if a player of his choice will break the world record, we will get to van Gaal," said Chief Executive Officer of Manchester United, Ed Woodward.
Last year, Real Madrid broke the world transfer record to bring in Wales international Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur for £ 86 million, surpassing the record £ 80 million held by Cristiano Ronaldo for the purchase of Manchester United.
For next season, United have spent £ 27 million to buy players Southampton, Luke Shaw and £ 28.5 million to bring in players of Athletic Bilbao, Ander Herrera.
Last January, they spent £ 37.5 million to buy Chelsea, Juan Mata.
And Woodward reiterated; "I will stand by what I would say that there is no specific budget to determine the amount of fees to bring in new players ... we are in a strong financial position and able to buy players. But that does not mean we will be wasting money by buying a whim just because we need to buy. "
With former assistant captain Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand and captain Nemanja Vidic - who incidentally r left United, the last stronghold is now a priority compared to other positions van Gaal.
United now have only three center-backs players of Jonny Evans, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling.
They have brought in left fullback Luke Shaw and midfielder Ander Herrera, but it is not sufficient for a large squad.
European media reported that the German defender Mats Hummels main target but his club refused to release players after they lost a star, Robert Lewandowski to Bayern Munich.
Ajax midfielder, Daley Blind, which is the preferred van Gaal in the Dutch World Cup squad was another United target along Feyenoord defender Stefan de Vrij and Arsenal captain Thomas Vermaelen.
Another player who is idolized van Gaal is planning central Rome, Kevin Strootman, the only obstacle is that he is still plagued by injuries and will not play until January next year.
United, which has just signed a sponsorship deal of £ 750 million with Adidas for season 2015/16 is determined to seize back the league after winning for the 20th time in the season 2012/13.
