Sir Alex not panicking
Sir Alex Ferguson has dismissed media claims that United are in dire straits ahead of the new season.
With United yet to make a summer signing, the English tabloids have dedicated countless column inches to their lack of activity.
Sir Alex, however, is far from flustered, and while he is still working on making new recruits, he would be happy to start the new term with his current squad intact and fully fit.
"We're working on certain things," he told Sky Sports News. "Of course, the media try and make it into a desperate situation.
"If I were to start the season with all the players I've got available, all fit, I don't think the supporters would be disappointed - neither would I."
The Gaffer took time out to praise the attitude and application of Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has trained for the last two days despite ongoing speculation linking him with a move to Bayern Munich or Real Madrid.
When asked if there had been any change in van Nistelrooy's situation, he replied: "None at all. At this moment in time, without question [he's still a United player].
"He trained well yesterday. He had a good attitude to his training, which is good, therefore he's a United player."
