& Morgan Schneiderlin have all been linked with
moves to Old Trafford, and Giggs says the club
need "proven winners" this summer
Ryan Giggs has underlined Manchester United's
need to strengthen over the summer as they look
to mount a Premier League title challenge.
Louis van Gaal acted early to secure Memphis
Depay from PSV in May but is yet to add further
new arrivals, despite links to the likes of Sergio
Ramos, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan
Schneiderlin.
thanks to a fourth-placed finish last season but
Giggs says improvement is vital and - given the
increased commitments coming next term -
players with a winning mentality are required to
strengthen the team's core.
"If there are players available who are winners,
who are proven, then yeah, let's go and get them,"
the United assistant manager told The Sunday
Times .
"And with any good team the spine is important.
Midfield, striker, centre-backs, goalkeeper. I'm sure
we'll be looking to strengthen the spine all the way
through.
"We obviously need to strengthen because we
were fourth. We weren't first, second or third. And
the teams above us will strengthen, too. There's
the added challenge of the Champions League, and
we need players that are going to improve us.
"But we're not too far away. We had a great record
last season in the big games and the problem was
the consistency. We dropped points we shouldn't
have and got off to a bad start. We drew a lot of
games away from home against teams we should
have been beating.
"You tot up the games you think you should have
won and think, ‘Yeah, we should have been much
closer' – but you have to go out and do it, and in
the Premier League that's not easy."
