We need new blood, admits beaten Moyes

David Moyes has admitted there is an urgent need for Manchester United to bolster their underachieving squad in the January transfer window but concedes it may not be possible to sign the players he so desperately wants.

United’s troubled season hit a new low last night as they exited the FA Cup third round in a 2-1 home defeat to Swansea, their fourth home defeat in the last six games and the Welsh club’s first ever win at Old Trafford.

“There is an urgency that we would like to bring people in but are those players available in January? So there is no point in me hyping it up because the players we would like to bring in are probably not available in January, not because we don’t want to do it,” said Moyes.
