Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has hinted that he may introduce some new players to his squad when the the transfer window reopens in January.
The Scot said: "We have created three teams in 10 years here, and it is possible we are on the way to building another one. And if we do, obviously new players can come in. We have trusted and believed in the nucleus of our squad, which has been there for a long time....maybe it is time to assess that the nucleus of the team has been together for seven to nine years - it's a long time."
United have been off the pace in the FA Premiership this season, although they closed the gap on leaders Arsenal to six points with last week's win over Newcastle, and began the second stage of the Champions League with a 3-1 win in Basle on Tuesday.
