With a defensive crisis snowballing for the Red Devils, recent speculation has thrown Sol Campbell into the mix for potential buys to fill the current void.

But Ferguson has quashed such claims, insisting that 35-year-old Campbell isn't on his agenda.

He also stating that the club - who are currently staring down the barrel of a £790million debt - have the means to make use of the winter transfer window, telling the Press Association:  "It has been said I do not have the money so I want to get someone cheap. It is nonsense."

"I don't know where the Sol Campbell story came from. He has had a great career but he is not of any interest to us.

Ferguson predicted the club's injury crisis to alleviate come January when key players regain fitness, meaning he may not resort to the transfer market.

He added: "I am happy with the players I already have at the club. At this moment we are having a hard time with the center-backs but I am sure by January we will have most of them will be back.

"The money is there if I wanted to use it. I didn't see any value in the summer and I don't see any value now either."
