Sir Alex Ferguson has hinted he could be ready to make another
surprise addition to his squad to follow the capture of Henrik
Larsson.
The Manchester United manager worked his magic in the transfer
market to bring the Swedish striker to Old Trafford on a loan deal
that begins in January, and it has been suggested that Larsson
represents the limit of his New Year acquisitions.
However Ferguson has now suggested he may yet have another ace up
his sleeve as The Red Devils look to consolidate their place at the
top of the Premiership.
"You never know, I may sign someone else," said Ferguson.
"No-one expected Henrik Larsson and I might surprise everyone
again."
United's usurpation of rivals Chelsea has seen Ferguson in his
element, with the mind games coming thick and fast from both Old
Trafford and Stamford Bridge.
Now the master of managerial psychology has gone on the offensive
again after Jose Mourinho suggested United's five-point lead is, in
reality, just two as The Red Devils have to visit Stamford Bridge
on 14th April.
"Apparently we have already lost a game which was due to be played
in April," laughed Ferguson
"It's quite good really because we can have a rest on that weekend
now. I can put my reserve team out, so we can save our energies for
the next game.
"You never know. We could actually win, or we might be 20 points
clear. I think the best thing for us to do is concentrate on
ourselves because we are doing the right things."
