David Moyes insists he will not plunge into the transfer market next month - despite Manchester United’s title crisis.
United’s 1-0 loss to Newcastle at Old Trafford saw them suffer back-to-back home defeats for the first time since 2002.
Moyes is under huge pressure with United out of the title race and facing a fight to qualify for the Champions League with a top-four finish.
But the United boss said he is unlikely to go on a huge spending spree in January , despite his squad needing drastic improvement.
Everton and England left-back Leighton Baines remains United’s only realistic target when the transfer window re-opens on January 1.
Moyes said: “In any transfer window you don’t want to be bringing in a full batch of players, so I think there’s a period of time that it takes.
“The last one was a difficult one after just joining the club, so we’ve got a window in January where, if we think if it’s right for the club, we’ll do so.
“If not, we’ll look again in the summer. This club is always looking to bring in the best talent and that won’t change.
“I don’t think I’ll feel under pressure personally to do it [buy in January] as I’ll try to do the right things.
“I tend to take my time and try to assess what are the best talents to bring in. You can see that from the players I brought in at Everton.”
United’s only summer signing was Marouane Fellaini from Everton for £27.5million, but Moyes insists he is happy with his current squad.
Moyes brought on Anderson and Wilfried Zaha, two players who have largely been ignored under him, to try to rescue the game against Newcastle.
When asked if his squad had enough depth of talent, Moyes said: “I do think the squad has got the depth and that’s why I played them [Anderson and Zaha] - to show the depth of the squad.
“I felt that we’ve had a lot of games and those boys were worthy of inclusion and that’s why we’ve involved them.
