Manchester United chief David Gill has declared they intend to invest in the squad in the coming transfer windows.
Gill played an important role too and feels securing Wayne Rooney's services for another five years represents a significant statement of intent.
"We are here to make sure we've got a great team and do what we do off the field by investing in the team and the facilities here," he said.
"I fully understand that in order to have results off the pitch we need a great team on it.
"We've been challenging at the top of the table for years and intend being there for many years to come."
