David Gill has ruled out any more signings at Man Utd before the transfer window closes.

United have already brought in Chris Smalling, Javier Hernandez, Marnick Vermijl and Bebe - but Gill has stated that there will be no other arrivals at Old Trafford.

The chief executive has pointed to the fact that United prefer to grow their young stars and have high hopes for Bebe.

Gill said: “Hopefully we’ve got the right numbers to compete on all fronts for the rest of the year.

“We’ve never bought older stars. We turn talented youngsters into top top stars. We’ve done it with Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Anderson and Nani.

“We think Bebe will fit into that profile - so our policy hasn’t changed. But if there’s a player who Sir Alex Ferguson thinks would change things we would go with it.”

Antonio Valencia

BBC Football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Manchester United will beat West Ham United on Saturday evening.

He told BBC Sport Online: “United may have slipped up at Fulham on Sunday, Nani missing a penalty that would have put them 3-1 up and sealed the points, but don’t expect them to do the same in a tea-time kick-off at Old Trafford. They’ve already lost a bit of ground on Chelsea and will see this match as chance to get back to winning ways.

“Hammers boss Avram Grant admitted after Tuesday’s Carling Cup win over Oxford that his team were very low on confidence and it’s clear for all to see. They’re still trying to buy players and don’t look like a settled squad. Grant needs the likes of Rob Green, Matthew Upson, Scott Parker and Carlton Cole to step up - they have to start performing or else it’s going to be a long, hard season.

“Prediction: 3-0.”

Sir Alex Ferguson said Manchester United had dropped “silly points” by drawing at Fulham.

United were held to a 2-2 draw at Craven Cottage and should have won the game, if not for Nani’s missed penalty while the score was in United’s favour at 2-1.

Why Nani took the penalty when the likes of Dimitar Berbatov, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs were on the pitch baffles me.

“When you get the opportunity to seal the game with that penalty you should be taking it,” Ferguson told MUTV.

“It was a missed opportunity and it galvanised them, got the crowd up and they scored the equaliser in the end.

“When we got that second goal I thought ‘we’ve escaped here’.

“But to miss a penalty kick to make it 3-1, you’re throwing two points away there I’m afraid.

“You don’t want to be dropping silly points and we dropped silly points here. We can’t escape that.

“There was an opportunity to go 3-1 ahead with three minutes left and we didn’t take it.”

Nemanja Vidic has urged Manchester United to forget about last year and look to win back the Premier League title.

The big Serbian defender delighted United fans by signing a new deal at Old Trafford and is hungry to bring back the title to where it belongs.

“It hurt to lose the title last year, especially as it was very close,” said Vidic.

“We finished just one point behind Chelsea and were very disappointed we didn’t make it.

“But this is a new season, we have to forget what happened last year, and the three before that if I am truthful.

“Our targets do not change. We have to win the league again and now we are stronger.”

Nemanja Vidic has signed a new long-term deal at Manchester United.

Speculation was rife surrounding the Serbian’s future at Old Trafford, with Real Madrid and AC Milan said to be interested.

Chief Executive David Gill told MUTV: “I am very pleased to confirm that we agreed terms with Nemanja three or four weeks ago on a new long-term deal with the club.”

Gill continued: “We sat down with Nemanja and his advisor at the end of last season and started discussions. They broke up when Nemanja went away to the World Cup, but resumed when Serbia were knocked out.

“It’s yet to be signed - the paperwork is now being sorted by our lawyers and being checked by Nemanja’s advisors. He’s still away on holiday but the plan is that when he gets back the papers will be signed.

“We’ve shaken hands on it and we’re confident it will all be signed and sealed in early August. It’s great news for Manchester United and great news for Nemanja and the fans.”
