Sir Alex Ferguson does not expect to be busy in the January transfer market after again claiming that Manchester United will not pay over the odds for players.

Ferguson resisted the temptation to spend the £80million the club banked following the world record sale of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid during the summer.

During the last transfer window Ferguson claimed that prices had been inflated and the Old Trafford boss fears the same scenario will unfold in January.

"I would like to do business, but only if the prices are right - and that can be a problem in January," he said.

United have been linked with a host of players from across Europe, with Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko a reported target.

Ferguson added just Luis Antonio Valencia, Gabriel Obertan and free agent striker Michael Owen to his squad during the summer.
