David Gill has not ruled out a move for Owen Hargreaves, but has
revealed that Manchester United do not plan to 'do a great deal' of
spending in January.
United were frustrated in their attempts to sign Hargreaves during
the summer as Bayern Munich refused to let him leave.
The midfielder has made no secret of his desire to move to Old
Trafford, and United have been linked with a move for him this
month as Sir Alex Ferguson looks to maintain his side's title
push.
However, chief executive Gill has refused to be drawn into a
definite answer, telling Manchester United Radio: "I think we all
know the area in which we want to strengthen, but I'm not going to
comment on that."
Gill insists there are funds available, but doubts how much more
business the club will do until the end of the season following the
capture of Henrik Larsson on loan.
"The money is there but traditionally we do most of our big
spending in the summer and I think that will continue," he
explained.
"Things may change. If there's an area in which we want to do
something then we'll do it, but at the moment we don't plan to do a
great deal.
"We've already brought in Henrik Larsson, while a number of the
players who have been out on loan are also back at the club."
