As mentioned the other day, Diouf has gone out on loan to Blackburn with Alex Ferguson also confirming that Danny Welbeck will also be loaned out.

Tom Cleverley was the other name mentioned but Fergie has confirmed that he will be staying at United this season and is clearly a part of the first team plans for the coming season.

I think this pretty much puts a lid on the subject of further purchases being made this summer.

United, of course, take on Chelsea tomorrow in the Community Shield and I’ll be doing my usual preview of the match tomorrow morning.
