Former-Manchester United assistant manager Mike Phelan, has revealed that if David Gill and Sir Alex Ferguson were still at the club this season, they would have signed a massive player.
The Red Devils were taken over by David Moyes this Summer after Sir Alex announced his retirement from the game, much to the shock of many football fans.
Not only did Ferguson leave, Gill also left his post and due to the changes, several of the backroom staff left as well, one being Phelan, who has recently revealed the plans of signing a marquee signing this Summer.
“If Sir Alex and David Gill had still been the bosses, I won’t name the player, but there would have been a star signing, one of the absolute best players in the world.
“It was something the boss talked about, and the owners and David Gill were also quite clear on doing it.
“There’s very few of such players out there. I think it’s clear to everybody who I’m talking about.
“We didn’t see the need for a big clear-out of the squad, that’s why Sir Alex and I had the one big signing in sight. One such star signing gives everybody a lift, we saw that with Robin van Persie.”
