January 2011 players ins and outs from Old trafford

-
United have been busy during the January transfer market, although all the deals, bar Danish goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard’s arrival, have involved players leaving Old Trafford.

Ritchie De Laet became the latest temporary departure on Friday 14 January when his loan move to Portsmouth was confirmed by the South Coast club. The young Belgian will remain at Fratton Park until the end of the 2010/11 season.

Earlier in the day, Corry Evans moved to Hull City on another loan deal that runs out at the end of the season. The KC Stadium is a popular destination for United players at the moment: Cameron Stewart is already on loan there, while defender James Chester moved permanently earlier this month.

Magnus Eikrem has also departed Old Trafford. The young midfielder signed a permanent deal with Molde FK, now managed by Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, and was unveiled at a press conference in Norway on Wednesday 12 January.

Elsewhere, striker Federico Macheda has joined Italian club Sampdoria until the end of the season, while fellow forward Nicky Ajose’s loan at Bury was extended until June.

The other Reds currently out on loan are either serving season-long deals (Danny Welbeck at Sunderland, Mame Biram Diouf at Blackburn Rovers, Tom Cleverley at Wigan Athletic, Danny Drinkwater at Cardiff City) or agreed extensions (Cameron Stewart at Hull City) before the January window opened.

Players bought:
Anders Lindegaard (Aalesund FK)

Magnus Eikrem (Molde FK)

Sir Alex Salutes his side "Back four"

With Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand outstanding in the centre of defence, aided and abetted by full-backs Rafael and Patrice Evra, plus defensive midfielder Michael Carrick, Edwin van der Sar scarcely had a shot to save. Sir Alex Ferguson was highly satisfied to depart White Hart Lane with a valuable point, and quickly heaped praise on the manner with which his side kept Tottenham at arm’s length throughout. “It was a tough game,” Sir Alex told Sky Sports. “ Tottenham are in great form but they really didn’t make many chances against us. We take credit for that. I thought our defenders were particularly good. Defensively we kept our nerve. “They never really troubled us. Considering the goals they’ve scored, at home particularly, and the performances they’ve shown at home, I think we can take real credit for that. “I thought we were a bit careless with our use of the ball, particularly in the period just before half-time and in periods of the second half, but it’s a

Rafael

Rafael Rafael was born in Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro, and is very much a modern full-back: he loves to bombard down the right flank - but he's not all just Brazilian flair, he's made of tough stuff. Rafael, who like his twin brother Fabio is a Brazilian youth international, was a somewhat surprise inclusion in the Reds' starting line-up at Peterborough on 4 August 2008 in Barry Fry's testimonial match. Talk about taking your chance when it comes. Sir Alex described the 18-year-old's performance as "a sensation". Finally, it was the end of one long journey from his former Brazilian club Fluminense, and the start of a new one with United. What made Rafael's debut all the more startling was that he hadn't played for over a year. The Reds had been waiting for international clearance on the pair's transfer from Brazil, so they had been unable to play for United during that time and, in fact, didn't play an
