Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he could make a single swoop in the transfer window to bolster his Manchester United resources.
The United boss stated last month that he would "definitely not" be dipping into the transfer market in January, insisting he was satisfied with his current line-up.
However, the Red Devils have recently been linked with a move for Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra, as well as Sunderland midfielder Jordan Henderson and Newcastle full-back Jose Enrique.
And Ferguson has performed a U-turn on his earlier comments by admitting United could make a solitary signing this month.
“I’d like to get one player in during the transfer window if I could,” he said. “I don’t see it happening really. Normally the player you really want you can’t get because clubs have their own criteria and priorities and also most of the players you’d like are involved in European football.
“We have done it in the past with Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra, Andy Cole and Louis Saha and they all worked reasonably well. But some deals done in January you don’t get the benefit until a year later like with Vidic and Evra — you face a lot of different things.
"Clubs have different training methods and when you have a player coming in mid-season into your club, and their training routine might be completely different to yours, you are trying to change them."
