"We have looked at it and we don't rule out another [signing]," Gill told Sky Sports News.

"The area which is a striker but we will see what happens.

"We are not desperate for it but if one came along that Alex [Ferguson] and the team felt would improve the squad we are prepared to do that."

Gill also revealed that as a result of the new arrivals there will be the inevitable departures for some players at Old Trafford.

"There will be some changes but it would be wrong to comment as to that but I think they will be discussions we will have internally," added Gill.

"We have a got a large squad now there should be some people leaving, not many at all.

"There should be some leaving and don't forget we have some great players coming back who have been on loan.

"We want competition for places we are looking to improve the squad and to take it on from last year

"We are not resting on our laurels we want to do even better next year on the pitch.

"Alex is always looking to improve the quality of the team we have out there."
