Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out making any major moves into the transfer market in the January transfer window.

Ferguson is content with the strength of his current Red Devils squad and feels that further tinkering is not necessary at this time.

He said: "I do not think there will be any January transfers. I am happy with what I have got.

"We are probably going to bring back a couple of young players who have been on loan. That may just give us extra protection.

"We took 23 players to Japan (for the Club World Cup) and they are very substantial players. I would be happy to play any one of them.

"Winning the competition was a great boost to the club and the players. It was a great achievement and the important thing was they played well.

"They showed good enthusiasm through the matches and good concentration. We have come through it well.

"The second half of the season is the most important because if you lose a game it means something, particularly when you get to March and April."
