Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho believes his side will not make a major signing in January and says they can no longer raid other top English clubs for their best players.
The Red Devils are thought to be after a centre back in January but Mourinho believes their chances of signing anyone from a team like Tottenham are unlikely.
He said, as quoted by the Daily Mail: "Honestly, I don't think we are going to sign (anyone).
"If we do, I would say one player. I don't see us going more than that."
Mourinho used the example of Tottenham, who were seemingly a selling clubs around ten years ago when players like Michael Carrick, Dimitar Berbatov, Gareth Bale and Luka Modric left to win trophies with bigger clubs, to highlight the power struggle now present in the market.
