Fergie: My choice not to splash cash

Alex Ferguson is not willing to spend £50m on a striker just to prove Manchester United’s owners are not holding cash back to pay their massive debts.

After more fierce criticism of the Glazer family, who are believed to be looking at launching a £600m (€666.7m) bond issue to bring down the massive interest they are presently paying on loans taken out to complete their controversial takeover in 2005, Ferguson has again stepped in on their behalf.
