Oxford United manager Aaron Ramsey has laughed off suggestions that he could return to playing for the club despite the ongoing transfer embargo. The 35-year-old, who ended his playing career in April, was asked if the restrictions on Oxford's transfer business could tempt him back on to the pitch. However, Ramsey insisted that his focus is now solely on management and that he is 'absolutely not' considering a playing return. The club has been placed under a temporary English Football League transfer embargo after failing to comply with Salary Cost Management Protocol (SCMP) regulations. The restrictions mean they cannot register any new players during the current transfer window and are expected to remain in place for the rest of the summer. The embargo comes as the Professional Footballers' Association has launched legal proceedings against the EFL over the SCMP rules. Oxford United are currently 22nd in the Championship, 47 points behind leaders Coventry, and have scored 45 goals and conceded 59 this season. They have a recent form of 2W-0D-3L and are next set to face Leicester City away on September 5. Despite the current restrictions, Oxford remain hopeful that the transfer embargo will be lifted before the January transfer window, allowing Ramsey to strengthen his squad in the second half of the campaign. The club's next fixture is against Leicester City away on September 5, and they will be looking to bounce back from their recent 2-0 loss to Ipswich on August 1.
