Ferguson targets two signings
Sir Alex Ferguson plans to make two additions to his Manchester United squad in the summer.Though United are chasing a second Treble this season, Ferguson already has designs on the 2007/08 campaign.
Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves remains a long-term target for the Premiership leaders, while Southampton full-back Gareth Bale has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Outlining his summer transfer plans, Ferguson admits he is likely to follow last year's policy when Michael Carrick and Tomasz Kuszczak were brought to the club.
"I would hope to add a couple of players in the summer who will improve us," Ferguson told The Scotsman.
"We are talking about that now. There won't be sweeping changes, maybe just one or two coming in who would have the talent to make a difference."
Meanwhile, Ferguson also revealed that the Glazers have not interfered with his management since the family bought United.
The Glazers took over The Red Devils in 2005 and Ferguson insists he has received nothing but support from the club's owners.
He added: "The Glazers have been fine since they took over. They haven't interfered with anything we do.
"I have had a couple of meetings with them, although David Gill obviously deals with them more regularly.
"Any time I have been with them, they have simply said to let them know if there is anything I need."
