Man Utd boss Ferguson expects more signings to follow Carrick

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson expects more new signings to follow Michael Carrick.
"We have targeted several players but in my experience, these things take time," he said. "We are not going to be stupid and just pay the price other clubs want.
"You have to negotiate and sometimes, you have to be patient."
Having made a £10million bid for Tottenham midfielder Carrick before the World Cup, Ferguson had long ago placed the 25-year-old at the top of his hit-list.
The Wallsend-born player should make his first United appearance in next weekend's Amsterdam tournament, probably against Porto on Friday.
