“We’re not close enough to either one yet. But the transfers always appear first on my son Jack Sullivan’s Twitter account.

“It’s a statement of intent. We’ll spend between £30m-£50m on transfers this summer. But you’ve got to build it up gradually. You can’t compete with the likes of Man Utd overnight.

"When I signed for Manchester, I wanted to play every game, be performing all the time, so I'm not totally satisfied. I'm not unhappy, I'm not happy, I'm in the middle.

WOOTTON OUT?

Leeds United defender Scott Wootton is set to leave Elland Road this summer after it emerged that a contract extension handed to him last year was never finalised, according to the Yorkshire Post.

Reportedly, Wootton will be released on a free transfer when Leeds publish their retained list due to an unusual scenario which left a 12-month extension to his existing deal incomplete.

Wootton signed an agreement in February 2015 which would have tied him down until the end of next season.

The extension, negotiated at a time when owner Massimo Cellino was serving a Football League ban and Andrew Umbers was running the club as chairman, was formally announced on United’s official website but the club’s failure to complete the necessary paperwork will supposedly see them move the defender on.
