Manchester United chief David Gill insists there is enough money available to compete at the top end of the transfer market.
Gill insists there is certainly no pressure on to sell players and they are in the market to buy.
He declared: "We have money in the bank so there is zero pressure on that, no pressure at all to sell any star player whether it is Wayne Rooney or X, Y or Z. I can categorically say that."
United have invested in the likes of Chris Smalling from Fulham at £12m and Javier Hernandez from Mexican club Chivas Guadalajara at £7m for this season.
But the marquee signings United fans had come to expect, and believe the club need to maintain their constant push for all the major trophies, have been nowhere to be seen in recent years.
