Sir Alex Ferguson will not be making major additions to his Manchester United squad during the January transfer window. With Jonny Evans and Rio Ferdinand nearing recovery, Ferguson sees no need to spend any more of the £80million he received from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo last summer.
"Inevitably, people look to this month's transfer window as a solution to our injury worries but it is not the answer," Ferguson told United Review.
"If someone could give me the name of a really good centre-half who would accept a three-month contract then I would jump at the chance. But where do you find a player like that?
"A decent player would be looking for a three-year contract and I don't need that kind of addition.
"It is difficult enough leaving good players out of the team without adding another to the mix, so I won't be looking for a senior player to ease our defensive crisis.
"Hopefully the worst is over anyway and we can get some stability at the back. Once we do that I am sure we will make up the ground we have lost."
