Man U Boss expects quiet window

Sir Alex Ferguson believes the new transfer window - now open - is likely to be quiet for the top clubs in the Barclays Premier League. After stressing he feels no need to add to his own squad, the United boss does not think the Reds' rivals will be splashing the cash either. "The reason there may not be many big signings in January is because the players clubs want are not available," Sir Alex explained. "To be honest with you, who would want to sell their best player in January? "I don't see it happening. There are cases of players whose contracts are running out in the summer but they won't get the same money anyway. It'll be well reduced." As for outgoing moves, the boss is unlikely to make a decision on the prospect of Federico Macheda and Mame Biram Diouf leaving on loan until nearer to the close of the window. "We don't need to do anything until the end of January," revealed Sir Alex. "We can take our time with that one. We've got, say, three weeks before we can make up our mind on that issue. "I'd like to get one or two on loan, particularly the young strikers but, at the moment, we don't need to do anything and don't need to make a decision."
