Manchester United is prepared to break transfer records in order to give new manager Louis van Gaal the players he wants, according to executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
The English giant has already spent over $85 million on England leftback Luke Shaw and Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera, and Woodward said the club is ready to spend even more.
Some of United's European rivals have spent big recently. Real Madrid on Tuesday signed James Rodriguez from Monaco for a fee of around $107.4 million, while Barcelona paid Liverpool around $127.8 million for Luis Suarez.
