No January shopping for Red Devils

(01-01-2011) Manchester United will "definitely not" buy any new players in the January transfer window, says manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The 69-year-old Scot did however admit that he hopes to loan out Federico Macheda for the rest of the season to increase the striker's experience. And he confirmed that Macheda's fellow forwards, Danny Welbeck and Mame Biram Diouf, will remain on loan at Sunderland and Blackburn respectively. Welbeck has enjoyed success at the Stadium of Light and Ferguson is hopeful Macheda could have a similarly productive time away from Old Trafford. "I had a chat with Federico and explained the Welbeck situation," said Ferguson. "It can pan out exactly the same for him. It would be the same thing, going to a club, getting that experience for six months and coming back to us a better player."
