Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, are prepared to hand David Moyes a £60 million transfer kitty this summer in order to allow Sir Alex Ferguson’s successor to stamp his personality on the Old Trafford squad.
Moyes is expected to recruit at least three new signings. Everton defender Leighton Baines, Barcelona midfielders Cesc Fàbregas and Thiago Alcantara and Borussia Dortmund forward Robert Lewandowski have all been identified by the club as targets, although interest in Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini has cooled because of his £23 million buy-out clause. United will also be among the interested parties in Gareth Bale should Tottenham be willing to sell the Wales international.
The expected departures of Nani and Anderson, and potentially French full-back Patrice Evra, could increase Moyes’s spending power still further, although the £60 million United have earmarked this year is already in excess of anything Ferguson was given in his 26-year reign as manager.
