Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted that he is happy with his current squad of players, and fans should not expect any more additions before the start of the new season.
United have brought in defender Chris Smalling and striker Javier Hernandez this summer and have been linked with a clutch of other players.
But Ferguson maintains that he doesn't believe that United really need any further additions.
"I cannot speak about other clubs. We are comfortable with the squad we have got," the Scot told reporters at a press conference.
"We bought players at the right time of the season and we are happy with what we have."
Meanwhile, Ferguson has also been impressed with the way his squad have coped with the demands of a testing pre-season in the heat and humidity of the United States.
"We are doing double sessions at 9.50am and 5.30pm and that helps us get a little rest after lunchtime," he added.
"The conditions haven't stopped us - they have been really good. The players have been great. They have shown some good application, good concentration and put in some really good work.
"It is now we are beginning to see the benefits of our training. The tempo is at the level we expect of our players."
