However, if moneybags Chelsea attempt to steal a march in the remaining 25 days of the transfer window, then Fergie may decide to act.
He has already proved that if he is in danger of being beaten to a priority target then he'll move quickly rather than risk losing the player.

United are expected to announce profits in excess of £75m later this month - so the funds are in place should the Berbatov situation flare up.
