Boss still hoping to add to squad

Sir Alex Ferguson says he is still confident of adding to his squad before the transfer window closes on Monday.

The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov, who was left out of Spurs' defeat to Sunderland at the weekend.

The Bulgarian was deemed "not focused enough" by Juande Ramos, while Spurs first team coach Gus Poyet admitted the club had no idea if Berbatov would still be at White Hart Lane at the end of the transfer window.

Sir Alex would not be drawn on specific players, but insists the club are still working hard on potential additions.

"There's only a week to go and you start to concern yourself a little bit," he admitted to MUTV. "I think we showed against Portsmouth that we've got good quality players here.

"We'd obviously like to add to the squad and we are looking at some things. But it's not easy. We'll have to wait and see what happens about that. We're doing our best - that's all we can do."
