Fergie may sideline summer spending

MANCHESTER UNITED may have been held to a scoreless draw against Juventus at Old Trafford last night, but at least they were able to report a clean bill of health.

With players seemingly picking up injuries every match, manager Alex Ferguson is facing major problems ahead of the new campaign and may be forced to revise a feeling that he has no need to spend, despite the good news of Cristiano Ronaldo’s confirmed commitment.

Just by raising the possibility of not buying anyone before the deadline closes on August 31, Ferguson has brought an element of worry to United fans as they look ahead to the new campaign.
