Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists he won't panic buy in January. Speaking ahead of the win at Everton, he rejected the suggestion that a reinforcement was needed in midfield.

"I think it's a good squad," he asserted. "We had a bad experience last week but it's not a bad team.

"Everyone builds their own in team in their own image, but we build ours in a different way to other clubs. We always play with wide players, for instance, and that's where we are.

"We know where we're going. We've always reviewed the situation quite well and we've bought well here. In the future, we hope we buy well again or a young player emerges, you never know."
