Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel has backed his old club's pursuit of Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
Sir Alex is looking to replace goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, and Schmeichel believes there is only one candidate.
"I’m pretty sure they would go for someone like Pepe Reina from Liverpool," said the great Dane.
Schmeichel had hoped manager Sir Alex was going to splash out on a creative midfielder over the summer.
But Schmeichel predicted that United will continue to prosper.
"I would have loved to have seen Wesley Sneijder in the team or Mesut Ozil," he told the US website Beyond the Pitch. "But I like the way Sir Alex Ferguson is building for the future, he’s bringing in exceptionally good players.
"Yes, five or six draws already is not great but we’ve had key players out, some players are not playing up to their top level, we’ve just come through a World Cup. It’s normal.
"Chelsea are flying but they will probably hit the wall. If you look at Manchester United I’m very confident and I’m optimistic. We have the future there."
