No new faces at Old Trafford says Gill

There will be no revolving door at the Theatre of Dreams this January
Manchester United chief executive David Gill has claimed that his club will not be making any moves in the January transfer window.
Gill says that the club will continue with their "traditional" policy of making their big-money signings in the summer months and will therefore not be pursuing any potential purchases before the current window closes.
The only transfer target that Gill claimed could be making a switch to Old Trafford is Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves, although he refused to comment further on the speculation.
"The money is there but traditionally we do most of our big spending in the summer and I think that will continue," Gill told Manchester United Radio.
"Things may change. If there's an area in which we want to do something then we'll do it. But at the moment we don't plan to do a great deal."
The Red Devils have already secured the short-term loan signing of Swedish striker Henrik Larsson, who is expected to make his debut for the club in Saturday's FA Cup match against Aston Villa.
And Gill claimed that with Larsson on board and several other players returning from loan deals at other clubs, the squad would seem to be refreshed enough for the second half of the season.
