Strategist Sir Alex Ferguson once again confirmed that he does not intend to desperately search for new footballers during the winter transfer window.

The English champions will have to manage without their main center-back Nemanja Vidic until the end of the season. Furthermore, the ranks of midfielders have significantly thinned: Darren Fletcher, Anderson, and Tom Cleverley are all facing health issues.

However, when asked if the team will be supplemented with new players, the Scot replied: "Not necessarily. I don't understand why people keep talking about it.

We won't buy just anyone, unless an opportunity arises to acquire a player we've been interested in for a long time. At the moment, I don't see any such options.
