Sir Alex Ferguson: Has ruled out making any significant purchases

Sir Alex Ferguson: Has ruled out making any significant purchases

Whilst United tend to stay out of the mid-winter scramble for new players, it is not entirely unknown for Ferguson to bolster his squad.

Henrik Larsson is one player who springs to mind, whilst Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra both arrived in January.

However, despite fresh rumours linking the Red Devils with Everton full-back Leighton Baines, Ferguson has dampened expectations of a big-money arrival at Old Trafford.

"Don't hold your breath waiting for Manchester United to jump through the transfer window when it opens next week," Ferguson told United Review.

"If you believed everything you read we would have the biggest squad in Europe, not to mention becoming bankrupt.

"It's been open season to link us with a stack of players, admittedly some very good ones, but it just isn't going to happen.

"You can never say never in football because you don't know who might become available, but speaking generally, I am not looking to do any serious business in January.

"I don't have to because I am more than satisfied with the players I have in my squad, a group as good as I have had in my time at Old Trafford."

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!
