According to BBC Sports News.Woodward promised there would be no repeat of last summer's disappointments in the transfer window. "There is a lot of work going on behind the scenes," Woodward told MUTV. "Watch this space." Last summer, following the appointment of David Moyes as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor, Woodward failed to secure the club's key targets and ended up signing only Marouane Fellaini for £27m from Everton before the transfer deadline.
Van Gaal is using the club's current trip to the United States to assess what further changes need to be made.And Woodward has promised the funds are in place to back the manager's plans.
"There is no fixed budget," he said. "Financially we are extremely strong. We want to do what it takes to win the title."New arrivals will be accompanied by departures. Nemanja Vidic has already joined Inter Milan while Rio Ferdinand has left for QPR and it is anticipated Patrice Evra will join Juventus imminently, having asked United to leave.Van Gaal has a ready-made replacement for Evra in Shaw, 19, who became the fourth most expensive defender ever when he made a £27m move from Southampton in June.
Former Red Devils full-back Denis Irwin is confident the teenager has the ability required to be a long-term success at the club.
