Sir Alex Ferguson has vetoed Jonathan Spector's proposed move to Blackburn Rovers.
Rovers chief Mark Hughes agreed a loan deal with his Manchester United counterpart Ferguson for Spector at the beginning of January.
Ferguson was initially keen to send Spector to Ewood Park in a bid to hand him some valuable first team experience in The Premiership.
However, the move was delayed when Ferguson lost a couple of defensive options to injury and the Scot has now decided to keep Spector at Old Trafford as he fears an injury crisis could leave him short of options.
"Jonathan won't be going to Blackburn now," Ferguson said of the American teenager.
"We couldn't let him go due to injuries and illness to Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville and Wes Brown, and I now want to keep him here."
The news will come as a blow to Hughes who is looking to steer Rovers clear of relegation, as he had earmarked Spector as a player capable of strengthening his rearguard.

There ya go Jordo, it was you that asked, wasn't it?

I think the loan experience would only have helped him, we have enough cover as well in brown, phill, o shea.

True. It might be a 'political' issue.

Can't see that he would have made the first team regulary anyway. He's a good solid defender. They were told our situation with injuries, I don't know if they were ever promised the player.

It was a question, by me, to you "it was you that asked, wasn't it?" You could have simply said, no. Anyway, some-one asked, I think Thursday maybe, "where is Spector, still at OT or at Blackburn?" I thought it was you, my mistake.
