Rio tells Fergie: No need for Man Utd January signings

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand insists there's no reason to buy this month. Ferdinand insists he would not swap their squad for those at title rivals Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham or Chelsea.

The England skipper said: "I look around the changing room and I'm happy with the players we've got. I'm sure the manager is too.

"If he sees fit to add to it, then I stand by whatever decision he makes but I don't see a problem. When everyone's fit, we've got the best squad in the league.

"In midfield we've got Carrick, Fletcher, Scholes, Anderson, Giggs, Park, Nani, Valencia, Hargreaves.

"That's an abundance of talent and people say 'You've not got depth in the squad'.

"But try and pick a foursome out of that - it's difficult."
