Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has no imminent plans to sign Michael Mancienne after he submitted a transfer request.

The Chelsea utility man, who has undertaken two previous loan spells with Wolves, has decided to call time on his Blues career four years after turning professional.

McCarthy insists Mancienne's decision to seek first-team football away from Stamford Bridge has nothing to do with Wolves as he is not looking to strengthen.

The ex-Sunderland boss is not ruling out bidding for Mancienne at some point, however, he admits he would need to trim the club's wage bill first.

"I guess people should ask their (Chelsea's) manager Carlo Ancelotti whether we should read anything into the transfer request," said McCarthy.

"If I was reading anything into it, I suggest he wants a transfer! But that's the first I've heard about it. I'm not looking at signings at all at the moment.

"We need to lose some players rather than take any more in and certainly won't do any more business unless anyone leaves."
