Club-by-club Premier League transfer round-up - Manchester United

Manchester United

In: Paul Scholes (unattached)

Out: Federico Macheda (QPR, loan), Darron Gibson (Everton, £2m), Mame Biram Diouf (Hannover, undisclosed), Josh King (Hull, loan), Ravel Morrison (West Ham United), Scott Wooton (Nottingham Forest, loan)

Verdict: The shock return of Paul Scholes is typical of United who rarely spend in the January transfer window. Sir Alex Ferguson is likely to do his spending in the summer but for now Paul Scholes is a good addition to the squad. Ferguson will be disappointed to lose highly rated youngster, Ravel Morrison to West Ham. United are hoping to retain the Premier League title despite the presence of neighbours Manchester City.
