Man Utd boss Ferguson insists Akinfeev not on shopping list
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out a move for CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev.
Fergie spoke highly of Akinfeev, however, after last night's 3-3 draw at Old Trafford.
Ferguson said: "It is only rumour. We are not showing any interest in him (Akinfeev). We are happy with our goalkeeping situation at the moment and wouldn't be looking for another one.
“We wouldn’t be interested, but I have to say he is a fantastic goalkeeper.
“He is athletic, with a powerful build, and his distribution his good.
“He really saved CSKA from a big defeat against us. He made one very good save in the first half and four I think in the second half. He was outstanding.”

For the moment i think Saf is telling the truth about not wanting to sign the CSKA goalkeeper IgorAkinfeev. I belive this January transfer window Fergie is targeting other positions such as a striker or a attacking midfielder! But i am certain after his performance last night he'll be a Man United goalkeeper come summer 2010?!
dont be messin wiht Fergi, he will mess all u ugly mans up loool
and we insist we believe you are not interested. lolz
