David Moyes has hinted he will look to bring back some of Manchester United's loan players before splashing the cash in the January transfer window.

The United manager said he would 'try' to bolster his squad when the transfer window opens next month but revealed he could recall his loan player first.

Jesse Lingard, Nick Powell and Ryan Tunnicliffe have excelled in the Championship for Birmingham, Wigan and Ipswich respectively and Moyes said he's considering bringing them back to Old Trafford.

Moyes said: "We will try in January. I am quite actively looking at our own boys. The likes of Jesse Lingard, Nick Powell and Ryan Tunnicliffe.

"We have quite a lot of boys on loan and they are the ones I am making sure we keep eyes on. They are the future. They are part of the club. They have been in the system. We hope they might be able to come back and help in if we need it in January."

Moyes also revealed the club is in 'regular' contact with Wayne Rooney's camp over the England striker's new contract and that he was hoping for a Christmas miracle to help Michael Carrick and Robin van Persie return from injury ahead of the busy festive schedule.

Moyes said: "The club and Wayne’s people are speaking regular. As far as I know it is just the same as it was.

He added: "There's always miracles at Christmas so let us hope there is one for Robin Van Persie and Michael Carrick. This is the time when miracles happen. You just never know."
