When asked if there were areas of his squad he wanted to strengthen, Ferguson said: "No. The January transfer market has never been the best market and that has proved itself over the years.

"You get very few big transfers - all the big transfers are done in the summer."

Would that be conducted after July 1st and in the next financial year by chance?

It does appear there are options in January but despite being short in midfield, potentially selling Nani , Ferguson indicates no business.

We shall see

Red Man

"You get very few big transfers - all the big transfers are done in the summer."

Could this be a hint that Sir Alex will make a big transfer this summer? I'm gutted that Moura chose PSG over us. I think he will be special.

I cant see anyone coming in this transfer window for a number of reasons the first being we are back to full fitness and the team looks like its going to go on the rampage think the last two perfomances have proved we can still play attractive football and still win the old fashioned way with flaire and power lots of people been writing Sir Alex off and saying Rooney and others are not up to sctach the likes of Carrick Cleverley and Young are not upto it but i think you will find that now the team is getting used to each other and injurys are over and top players coming back we really look a dangerous threat and teams better start beleaving we are number one again cause it is only going to become harder to beat us i think Van Persie is galvenizing us and this cycle of players is speacil Jones and Smalling two of the finest defensive players to come through anywere Rooney Van Persie as good a strike force as any Young looking a tricky creative winger and Carrick pulling the stings in the middle with plenty of forward passes Cleverys has also given us a show case of his real skill and is young enough to improve to a world class player beleave me or not there doing it right now top of the league and finaly playing the sort of football we as fans love long may it continue and save the money for the summer when we will probably buy Baines and a cm and winger when there is more to choose and better prices Katef Katef.

I am sure we will only buy if another club goes for one of our summer targets or Nani is sold. We may even wait til the summer to replace Nani. If Nani is sold I wouldn't rule out us making a bid for Walnut, with the bid being rebuffed by Arsenal. AW is a tough cookie to deal with and the club will not part with £10m when they could sign him for free in the summer.

Sydney!

Yep, another winger just what we need.

Sir Alex will sign a midfielder in January. He is only saying this to keep the players focused over christmas. Trust me a young midfielder will be signed. Man Utd 4 lyf

Ed002 Is there any interest in Strootman from Arsenal apart from Man Utd and AC Milan or its just paper talk?

Shaun {Ed002's Note - A number of clubs including Arsenal have shown an interest.}

so PSG have come out and said Ronaldo and mourhino are on there summer shopping list, wouldn't surprise me.
jred

I hope Ronaldo goes to PSG, anywhere but City. Couldn't give a monkey's about where Jose goes.

Sydney!

It would be a nightmare to see him in the EPL playing fo ran other club
jred

I can't see Ronaldo leaving Real until he has won the Champions league with them, as this is his dream!

Dispite all the ongoing problems there hes not one to give up easily!

CrazyS

Can't see Ronaldo wasting his time in France. He'll either come home to us or sign a new deal in Spain.

Fresh!

That's right Jred, and by the time he is finished with PSG (30+) he will be ready to return back to us.

Sydney!

They are probably posturing for a new contract.
Can't see Ronaldo leaving Spain myself.

Supasub

You can be assured he will not go to City he has said united are "his team" and he wouldn't go to city. If he goes to another club it will be us or PSG, probably PSG because they are the only ones who could afford the 160m reported asking price. I think he will sign a new contract anyway. Sounds like Real are replacing a lot of their players next summer and it wouldn't surprise me if Ronny had a big influence on that. It's no secret he doesn't get on with Alonso (supposedly going to Liverpool next summer) and some other team mates.

Ronaldo isnt stupid enough to go to psg and ruin his career, he will be off the radar and thats not him
