Ryan Giggs accepts it might be a hectic couple of weeks
in the transfer market, but claimed he would be happy if Manchester United
emerged from the summer window without making any changes to their squad.
United claimed their first silverware of the David Moyes
era when they defeated Wigan 2-0 in the Community Shield.
The victory has eased some of the tension among Red
Devils supporters, who had started to become agitated by a combination of poor
pre-season form and the lack of fresh blood since Moyes' appointment was
announced in May.
However, as Moyes confirmed after the Wembley encounter,
he is still trying to bolster his squad, knowing time is ticking down until the
window closes on September 2.
With Arsenal equally bereft and high-profile situations
involving Gareth Bale, Luis Suarez and, much closer to home, Wayne Rooney still
to resolve themselves, there is still evidently plenty of business to be done.
Clearly, Giggs does not have a crystal ball to know who
will end up at Old Trafford, with Luka Modric and even Bale still being talked
of as potential signings in addition to Everton duo Marouane Fellaini and
Leighton Baines.
But he does know that with all but Paul Scholes still
remaining from a squad that clinched the title by 11 points last season, United
will remain in a strong position.
"The quality is in the squad," Giggs said.
"We showed that last year. Now we have to show it again.
"It has been a slow transfer window. Manchester City
did their business early on but, other than that, there has not been a lot of
movement so it could be a hectic last two weeks.
"We will just have to wait and see how it goes but
we are quite happy with the players in our dressing room.
"We won the league with those players so we are
looking forward to the start of the season.
"If we sign someone - great. If not we will just get
on with it."
