Manchester United will get backing to 8216;kick on8217;,says Alex Ferguson

8220;Having spoken with the Glazer family,there is every intention to kick on,8221; Ferguson told reporters.

8220;We possibly need two players. It depends. If a player came along who met our criteria we would push the boat out and get him,irrespective of how many players we have.8221;

United have been linked with Borussia Dortmund8217;s Polish striker Robert Lewandowski and Porto8217;s Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez.

Ferguson takes his team to Arsenal on Sunday hoping to end the season with a record Premier League points haul and United would surpass Chelsea8217;s 2004-05 total of 95 if they won their last four games.

8220;Now we have won the league with four games left,I look at it as being one thing to win the league,another to do it by beating the record,8221; he said.

8220;Ninety-six points would be phenomenal. I don8217;t know if that could ever be beaten.8221;

The Scot is expecting a more difficult campaign next season,especially if Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho returns to Chelsea.

8220;Chelsea will definitely be involved next year,8221; he said. 8220;They have some good players and it looks likely Mourinho will be going there.8221;
