Manchester United manager David Moyes has warned fans that January may be as quiet as the summer was regarding transfers.
The Red Devils were only able to purchase Marouane Fellaini from Everton in the summer for £27million, despite being linked with several world-class midfielders.
As the summer activity was so poor for the club, the board and also the fans have been pleading with Moyes to spend big in January in order to rescue the season, but ahead of the weekend’s clash with Sunderland, the boss has confirmed that the Winter window may be just as quiet.
‘I’ll look at January but I wouldn’t want people to have big expectations about what you would sign or do in January because I don’t think January has in the main been a really good month to sign really at the top.
‘If you’re in trouble near the bottom of the league you might if you’re desperate for something but I think where we’ll be with Manchester United we’ll be looking for the top.
‘I’ve got really, really top end players, great players to work with.
‘But undoubtedly we will in time try to make that better, that’s the part of the job. The job is to progress, to make progress at Man United. We’ll look to add to the squad if the right players become available.’
