Boss Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out making any new signing during January transfer window. A number of players - including Tottenham’s Dimitar Berbatov and Rangers defender Alan Hutton - have been linked with a possible switch to Old Trafford now the transfer window is open.

Berbatov has been slapped a £31m price-tag on his head, virtually rule him out of any move to another Premier League club.

However, Ferguson has quickly ruled out any new faces coming in this transfer window as he is happy with the squad at his disposal.

“It is the old game they play,” noted Ferguson.

“Everyone’s trying to play a game, trying to create speculation about who you are going to buy and of course we would have to be buying someone wouldn’t we.

“It is the name of the game for Manchester United.”

Meanwhile, Ferguson has allowed young defender Jonny Evans to join Sunderland on loan until the end of the season and he believe the Northern Ireland international will benefit from the experience.

“We have let Jonny Evans go on loan to Sunderland and the reason for that is simply that he has not had enough football this first half of the season and the injury he had derailed him certainly,” added Ferguson.

“We think we are well covered in the centre back position, so much so that we can let Jonny go there and get the experience because he is going to be a top player.

“He will come back a better player for us because of the experience of going to Sunderland for the next four months.

“He is 19 years of age and an excellent prospect.”

Sir Alex Ferguson had turned down Newcastle United bid for the unsettled defender Wes Brown. Newcastle is believed to have tabled approximately £2million, for the versatile defender.

The 28-year-old England international will be out of contract in the summer and has recently turned down an improved final deal from Old Trafford. Although Ferguson has reject Newcastle’s initial offer, Fergie has not ruled out a deal taking place if Brown is interested.

United offer for Brown is still there, the matter now rests with Wes and his agent. - the ball now is Wes’ hand.

Brown has spent most of the season deputising for the injured Gary Neville at right-back and if United manager Ferguson decides to accept an offer, rather than lose the player for nothing in the summer, he may be left short of defender.

Manchester United has reached agreement with Petro Athletico of Luanda to sign Mateus Alberto Contreiras Goncalves – better known as “Manucho.”

The 24-year-old Angolan international striker, who has scored twice in 10 appearances for his country, has agreed personal terms and will join the Club in January on a 3-year agreement. An application for a work permit will be made in due course.

He was top goalscorer in the last two seasons of the GiraBola, finishing with 16 goals for Petro Luanda in 2006 and 15 goals this year. Manucho will be part of the Angolan squad for the African Nations Cup in January.

Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted by the new arrival, saying: “We have had Manucho here for a 3-week trial and have been impressed enough to offer him a 3-year contract.

“He is a tall, agile and quick forward and through contacts that Carlos [Queiroz] has was brought to our attention around six months ago.”

UPDATE: Gabriel Heinze Move Completed.

Real Madrid have completed the signings of Gabriel Heinze together with Chelsea winger Arjen Robben.

Heinze, 29, has signed a four-year deal with Real Madrid, no transfer fees has been confirmed at the moment while report from Madrid suggest Heinze could cost Real around £8million. The move draws the curtain on three years at Old Trafford for the all-action left-back, who United signed for £6.9million from Paris Saint Germain in June 2004.

Heinze made 83 appearances for the Reds scoring four goals, including a fabulous first season that saw him collect the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award. However, injuries hampered his second season with the Reds and last season he was under pressure for the left-back slot from Patrice Evra, now Sir Alex Ferguson’s first choice. (more…)

After a two days hearing by a three man panel ruled that a letter signed by CEO David Gill, did not constitute a binding undertaking in offload Heinze to anyone who matched the £6.8million fee. So far, Liverpool are the only club United confirmed have met their valuation, but Gill and Ferguson both refused to sanction a deal which would have seen Heinze become the first player to leave Old Trafford for Anfield since Phil Chisnall in 1964.

23-year-old Carlos Tevez long protracted move to Old Trafford has ended by joining Manchester United on a two years loan deal.

Tevez has been training with United all week long but any chances of him facing Reading on Sunday look slim, while he more likely will involve in next Sunday’s derby encounter with Manchester City .

Tevez registration with West Ham was cancelled by the Premier League earlier this week but every item of paperwork within the new deal has been scrutinised in an effort to avoid the kind of wrangle which erupted over the ‘third-party’ ownership of Kia Joorabcian during Tevez’s time at West Ham.

At this moment Tevez, there was no hints on Carlos personal term with Manchester United. We’re looking at the prospect of him partnering Rooney upfront in United attack hence I’m tempting to name this partnership as  “the bulls devil”.

Former Manchester United Fans Players of the year, Gabriel Heinze still has plenty to offer for united despite the ongoing saga of his disputed proposed move to arch rival Liverpool, insists gaffer Sir Alex.

With the outcome by the premier league jury panel of Gaby’s saga still days away, we hope the decision will be negative for Gaby. Despite hits by injury last season, Heinze still possesed the ability to win back the coveted left back spot that won him the Manchester United Fans Players of the year in his maiden season.

Currently he still under contract with Man Utd for 2 years, Liverpool is believed to have tabled 6.8million pound transfer fees for his service which Man Utd had totally reject this proposed transfer.

Last but not least, piss of Mr. Kop(s) you will not get Gaby.
