MANCHESTER UNITED MANAGER Alex Ferguson says he won’t be influenced by calls by the club’s fans to dip into the January transfer market.
The Premier League champions are trailing cross-town rivals Man City and have had to deal with injuries to the likes of club captain Nemanja Vidic, Ashley Young, Anderson, Michael Owen and Tom Cleverley.
Darren Fletcher is also facing a extended period out of the game with a serious bowel illness.
But Ferguson insists he has enough in his squad to get the club over the line again. “All things being equal I am perfectly happy with the strength of our squad in terms of depth, quality and age range.
“I will not be swayed by the endless tweets and blogs urging the club to get busy in the transfer market next month.
“As far as I am concerned I am marching perfectly in step, true to my beliefs and principles. While recruiting some of the world’s leading players can lift you into contention for honours, it doesn’t necessarily take you all the way, as I hope we will be able to demonstrate before the end of the season as other factors come into play.
“You can never say never in football, of course, because fortunes can fluctuate wildly – that’s the football world,” he added.
United face Wigan tomorrow afternoon.
