Manchester United boss
Sir Alex Ferguson is planning to
buy back Ryan Shawcross from Stoke
City.
The News of the World says Shawcross left Old Trafford
at the start of 2008 in a £1million deal.
But Ferguson has monitored his progress and nearly re-signed the
21-year-old defender during the summer.
Now, the Old Trafford boss will have to decide whether to move
for Shawcross in the January window or wait until the end of the
season.
And if misgivings about the performances of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic continue, Ferguson
could be tempted to act sooner rather than later.
