Ferguson - still wants reinforcementsManchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will spend the next few days attempting to recruit the midfield reinforcement he still feels his squad requires.
Although, after watching Louis Saha, Cristiano Ronaldo and young midfielder David Jones find the net in his side's 3-0 final friendly win over Sevilla on Saturday and as Ferguson approaches his 21st season as United boss, he remains relaxed about the challenge of trying to snatch the title back from Chelsea.
"We are trying very hard to get another midfield player in," he said.
"But, at the end of the day, I have a terrific squad of players with great ability.
"The boys have to accept the challenge. We are ready and hopefully they can do the business."
Fernando Torres was widely assumed to be on his way to Old Trafford but Ferguson eventually baulked at Atletico Madrid's £27million asking price.
Instead, the Scot opted to keep Giuseppe Rossi rather than sending him out on loan and rely on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ronaldo, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs as striking back-up should injuries start to bite.
It seems the plan will get an immediate test as Wayne Rooney struggles to overcome a groin injury in time to face Fulham next Sunday.
