Manchester United's owners the Glazer family will let Sir Alex Ferguson spend in January to help bring the title back to Old Trafford. United lead the Premiership by eight points after Chelsea drew with Arsenal on Sunday but they still need a defensive midfielder and a long-term striking solution.
"We haven't really discussed incoming transfers in detail but there is money there," said chief executive David Gill. "If we determine that there is somebody who can come in and strengthen the club, then there is certainly money there."
United have also secured a three-month loan deal for former Celtic and Barcelona striker Henrik Larsson, but the deal starting in January and finishing in March is only a temporary one.
Signing Michael Carrick from Spurs in the summer was intended to be coupled with the procurement of a specialist holding player, but Bayern Munich rejected initial overtures for England midfielder Owen Hargreaves, who has made clear his desire to move to the Premiership.
Fernando Torres (Atletico Madrid) and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar (Ajax) have also been linked with United as they seek to find a long-term replacement for Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Nice news for Mourinho after yesterday.
Wonder who you'll get, after being promised a world class player and getting Michael Carrick...
