Manchester United captain Roy Keane has urged manager Alex Ferguson to buy a striker in next month's transfer window.
The champions were far less threatening than their hosts as they lost 1-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Roman Abramovich's Londoners moved to the top of the Barclaycard Premiership on the back of the result and Keane fears the Russian billionaire will further strengthen his squad in January.
"The biggest disappointment is we didn't score at Chelsea and I feel maybe the manager needs to buy a striker in the New Year," Keane said. "We are a bit short up front at the moment and if one or two are injured we could struggle.
"I am sure the manager is already taking care of that, particularly as we are looking to win the Premiership, the FA Cup and the Champions League.
"We know it's going to be tighter than ever this season. And who is to say Chelsea won't go out and spend even more money in January?"
