Sir Alex Ferguson does not expect to make further signings this summer

Sir Alex Ferguson has signed three players this summer but an extensive search for a playmaker to replace Paul Scholes has so far proved to be a failure.

It is anticipated that if Luka Modric and Samir Nasri leave Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal respectively, they will head to clubs other than United and a deal to bring the Dutch midfielder Wesley Sneijder to Old Trafford from Internazionale has floundered due to the extreme costs involved.

While neighbours Manchester City making further inroads on United's territory, Ferguson admitting the prospect of further signings is slim. "We lost five players in their 30s this summer. That helped finance the three younger players - Ashley Young, Phil Jones and David de Gea - I have brought to the club."

"At this moment, I can't see another addition. The type of player we might have been looking for is not available. I am happy with the players I have got at this moment in time."
