English champions Manchester United will make three signings this summer, manager Sir Alex Ferguson said on Thursday.
With goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar retiring at the end of the season and Paul Scholes considering his future, Ferguson told MUTV that he wants to freshen the squad going into next season.
“I am looking at maybe three signings, which would boost our overall quality in our team,” Ferguson said. “We have some ideas in mind and hopefully we can get them put in place,” Ferguson said.
“We have Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes coming towards the end of their careers, Gary Neville has already retired and Edwin van der Sar is retiring, so there are holes we want to plug up in terms of the safety and security of the team for the next few years.
“Of course, we have some excellent young players and a lot of them have progressed, which gives us a great, powerful squad.” United clinched their record 19th league title last weekend and will take on Barcelona in the Champions League final on May 28.
