Robin van Persie has brazenly revealed that Manchester United will spend upwards of £200million this summer in a bid to challenge for the Premier League title.
The striker, whose own future at Old Trafford is shrouded in doubt, believes Louis van Gaal will be given the funds required for a second season running.
Van Gaal wasn’t actually in the manager’s chair when United splurged some of their tens of millions on talent last summer, but did sanction the deals ahead of taking over from David Moyes.
‘United spent £200m on players last year and they are going to spend another £200m this summer so we will have a team that can compete for the title,’ the Dutch striker said.
Van Gaal is under no illusions that they must bridge the gap between themselves and this year’s winners Chelsea, who eventually finished 17 points clear of the Reds.
And United know they need more firepower to lessen the burden upon Wayne Rooney.
