The head coach Sir Alex Ferguson mentioned that in January he will try to strengthen his team.
"In January, I will try to attract new players: the key is quantity. Of course, I will have to forget about players whose clubs still dream of winning the Champion's League. This will significantly narrow down the list of candidates, but there are still many matches left until January. I am pleased with the current strength of the team. However, we rely too much on young talents and we lack experienced 'wolves' like Roy Keane, Gary Neville, and Gabriel Heinze," he said.
Lately, there have been rumors behind the scenes that the Red Devils would like to see Thomas Gravesen from Real Madrid and Michael Ballack from Bayern Munich in their team, but these clubs are still fighting in the Champion's League.
In January 2004, A.Ferguson persuaded the Frenchman Louis Saha from Fulham to join his team, similarly ignoring players involved in the Champion's League. Perhaps this season he will try once again to attract a football star who excels in the Premier League but does not participate in European tournaments.
