Departures may happen
Sir Alex admits the recent influx of players at United could spell
the end for others.
Alan Smith, Kieran Richardson, Gabriel Heinze, Mikael Silvestre and
Louis Saha have all been linked with moves away from the club. And
the speculation has intensified following the arrivals of Owen
Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson.
The United boss is loathed to lose any members of his bulging squad
but understands that some may look elsewhere for regular first team
football.
"I don't expect anyone to leave but it's possible it may happen
simply because of the number of players we now have," he
says.
"Players understand today that in order to challenge for major
trophies, you need a strong squad.
"No-one will play all the games next year and hopefully the players
will accept that and get on with the business of trying to achieve
success for us.
"Some of them will view the situation we have at the moment and
think they may not get enough games to satisfy them. But there are
no decisions on anyone at the moment."
