Manchester United manager David Moyes is playing down any talk of his club making any big name signings during the January transfer window, by saying that he has no intention of going out and spending big on new players.
So far this season United are suffering their worst start in 24-years under new manager Moyes and are sitting 12th in the table after only managing seven points from six games.
Moyes has been told by the owners that the money is available for new signings in January but Moyes is playing it down saying: “I’ll look at January but I wouldn’t want people to have big expectations of what we would sign or do,” Moyes said. “In the main, January has not been a great month to sign at the top level.
“If you’re in trouble near the bottom you might as you’re desperate for something but we’ll be looking for the top players.
“Undoubtedly we will, in time, try and make the squad better – the job is to make progress at Manchester United.
“They won the league last year but I want to try and progress on that, try to win it again and try to win the cups if possible as well.
“We’ll also look to add to the squad if the right players become available.
“We wanted to try and get one or two players in which, I said at the time, we wanted to buy players to come into the team if possible.
“That was the goal. We didn’t need many more players, just one or two who could definitely help and effect on the first team.”
