Manchester United chief executive David Gill is not ruling out the possibility of further new signings before the close of the transfer window. Following the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez over the summer, United had been tipped to spend big in the transfer market. To date, the Premier League champions have brought in Antonio Valencia, Michael Owen and Gabriel Obertan for an outlay of less than £20million. United boss Sir Alex Ferguson stated earlier this week that he was not planning to make any more major signings after being linked with the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sergio Aguero. However, ahead of the club's pre-season trip to Asia, Gill admits there could still be some transfer activity in the coming weeks. Gill said: "I will start each day with the usual emails and correspondence, and I'm sure there will be some player activity going on while we are over there."
