Papers: Reds to splash out

Fergie's £50m War Chest
Sir Alex Ferguson will be handed £50million to strengthen his Manchester United squad this summer after steering the club to their first Premiership crown in four years. Fergie will use the huge transfer kitty to land Owen Hargreaves, Spanish striker Fernando Torres, Gareth Bale from Southampton and Portuguese prodigy Nani - while Tottenham's Dimitar Berbatov and Reading's Steve Sidwell are also on the United manager's wanted list. Despite beating Chelsea to the title, Fergie admitted the limitations of his United squad were exposed by a clutch of injuries towards the end of the season, and he has vowed to bolster his personnel to ensure there is no repeat of that potential crisis.

The Sun claims United have pulled out of a deal for Owen Hargreaves, after Bayern Munich allegedly upped the midfielder's price tag to over £20million.

In the same paper, David Beckham tips Ryan Giggs to equal Phil Neal's record of 17 winner's medals, having clinched his 16th in United's weekend title triumph.

Sir Alex Ferguson claims his newly-crowned Premiership champions will only get better, but he expects renewed challenges from Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool next season.

The Mirror says Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko will miss the FA Cup Final against United after undergoing a hernia operation.

Meanwhile, Sir Alex hit out at Manchester City defender Michael Ball for his stamp on Cristiano Ronaldo during Saturday's derby win, saying: “I don’t know what got into him."
