Sir Alex Ferguson will be given full financial backing to strengthen United's Premiership and Champions League ambitions when the January transfer window opens.
The Reds have been linked with a series of high profile transfers, but, given that the recent loan signing of Henrik Larsson escaped the media's radar virtually until it had been announced, the Reds' real targets remain uncertain.
However, Reds chief executive David Gill says United's owners, the Glazers, are prepared to put the necessary money at Sir Alex's disposal.
Gill was coy on specific targets saying that "we haven't really discussed incoming transfers in detail", but Sir Alex's assertion that "we're not sitting on our backsides" suggests the United boss has already identified potential targets.
