Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists he's not planning to buy this month.

Ferguson reiterated that he is not currently planning to add to his squad in January as he does not believe he will be able to land the players he wants.

He said: "What can you get in January? I've said this many times now. The players we'd like we can't get.

"If the alternative is to sign a second-rate player, we don't want to do that.

"Our injuries have led to fans wanting us to sign someone, but I don't want to sign a player who won't get a game when everyone's fit because he's not good enough."
