Woodward said: “The reality is that we're not afraid of spending significant amounts of money in the transfer market.
“Whether it's a record or not doesn't really resonate with us.
“What resonates is a top, top elite player that the manager wants that is going to be a star for Manchester United.
"Of course it's in our capabilities (to spend ￡60m or ￡70m on a player). You think about the money in a way that I don't.
"I get pointed in the direction of a target that the manager wants and there is an assessment of what that might cost and I'll negotiate hard to do the best I can on the trade.
“I think there is a philosophy in the club that the board, the owners have which is we want to see the best players play for Manchester United but we are not imposing that on anybody.
“It was never imposed on Sir Alex (Ferguson), it was not imposed on David (Moyes), it’s not going to be imposed on Louis.
“If Louis says I want a player, get X, Y, Z, and it’s achievable and it’s viewed by you as a top player then we’ll end up with a top player. It’s what the manager wants. That’s the starting point.
“There is no budget. We are in a very strong financial position. We can make big signings. That doesn’t mean we go and throw money around.”
He said: "Two seasons ago we were champions by 11 points. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Sir Alex was never turned down in terms of money for a potential purchase of a player.
“We didn't always get the players we tried to buy but he was always backed in that way.
“That has been the case since I have been at the club. That's the same now.
“The interest costs on the debt is around ￡20m. That's less than five per cent of our revenue.
“It doesn't factor into the concerns I've got when I think about signing a player.
“In the same way, Financial Fair Play. We've got ourselves to a point, from a financial perspective, where we are able to act in the market if we want to.”
Van Gaal said last week that he wanted to take a closer look at his squad during his time in the United States before making more signings.
But Woodward revealed he is still actively chasing targets, while some members of the current squad are set to leave.
He added: “We’re still assessing things, looking at options.
“We’re not sitting on our hands waiting for Louis.
“He is very good at communicating clearly what he wants. All I’m saying is there could be other some things that happen as a result of the time he spends in the next few weeks with the players.
“From an experienced professional football perspective, he knows the first 15 maybe very well but he might not know the next 15 that well, so he’s taking time to see what’s what.”
