We as a club should be aspiring to have the best players playing for us. We've had that in the past. We're in for players if the manager wants to be.

We're always able to look at a position and have our view in terms of the list of targets that would suit Manchester United and augment our team.

The idea is to recruit in a closed environment, rather than listening to the press or getting distracted by conflicting agents' claims. We try and make cold decisions based on information.

We have to do everything that we possibly can to get back to winning the Premier League. We are not successful until we do. Second is not success, we have to win the Premier League.

When a scout recommends a brilliant right back or a coach recommends one from our academy, we want the manager to weigh up what is right for the team.

I want to take a long-term view. Being distracted by short term things can be dangerous when you are making cold, calm, long-term decisions.

I understand the scrutiny; it's part of the job. And I don't want to be famous and can't be mates with the players.

The scouts are watching matches and we have a huge amount of data we purchase and a pyramid approach in terms of delivering that information to our chief scout and his team who are assessing it.

We are financially strong. We are self-sustaining. We don't have an umbilical cord that we are concerned about.

I don't get involved in recruitment like people think I do. There's a myth that I look at YouTube and choose players. I don't. Having an eye for players is an art. I have no interest in doing that.
