English Premier News :: Ferguson admits United running out of time for new signings

Posted on 2008-08-22 by Gooner

Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted he is running out of time to bring in a new striker.

So far his targets have been players in demand at other clubs, and with United taking the moral high ground over Real Madrid's pursuit of Cristiano Ronaldo it means that Manchester United have been fr more circumspect in approaching players.

Tottenham have shown no sign of bowing to the wishes of Dimitar Berbatov by allowing the Bulgarian to join Manchester United.

David Silva, Thierry Henry and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar seem equally unattainable, raising the possibility the transfer window will close with United not having added to their current strike force.

Ferguson has not given up just yet but he accepts the clock is ticking.

"I am less optimistic than I was" said Ferguson, recalling that exactly a week ago he said a surprise was imminent. "We have 11 days left before the transfer deadline and we are working at something but you never know in football. It may happen, it may not. If it doesn't we will carry on with what we have got."
