Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits they did try to buy in the winter transfer window.
United's progress allowed Ferguson to again maintain a low profile in the January market.
He may have broken the British transfer record on six occasions, but the 69-year-old sees no value in the current market.
"We tried to do one bit of business this time but it didn't work. Getting the value in today's market is difficult, but we have faith in our youth system. We trust in it."
