Sir Alex Ferguson is concerned about the sudden transfer spending at Manchester United.

The Mail on Sunday says while he genuinely rates Louis van Gaal as a coach, Ferguson is rather bemused at the club suddenly changing its thrifty approach in the transfer market.

Ferguson has big concerns over whether the new big spending will destabilise the club.

United are expected to splash out £200 million in the next two transfer windows.
