So far this offseason we have signed Jones and Young , and have spent over 30m pounds so far . We also need a replacement for Van der sar and for Paul Scholes and neither replacements will come cheap . We might also see him buy another midfielder or 2  to replace Hargreeves and Gibson , which could take our spending close to the 100m pound mark .

Looking to the future we have a great young defence in place  with Smalling , Jones and the Da Silva twins , and we also have Rooney , Hernandez and Wellbeck as our young attacking future . The place where we are lacking youth is midfield and i see this area as next on sir Alex's list with Ashley Young the start of things to come , and i have no doubt he will build a great midfield like the days of Giggs , Beckham , Keane and  Scholes .

The future looks in safe hands but how many years will ferguson go on , will he be around when this team will hit their peak ? I hope so , i like evey man u fan wants ferguson to go on forever but if if he does retire in the next couple of years he will have left man u with another great team and will complete his legacy as the best football manager in the history if the game .
