Nigel Pearson has confirmed he was on a scouting mission at Oxford's game with MK Dons alongside assistant Curtis Fleming as he attempts to even up the wage structure at the club.
The Bristol City manager was in the stands on April 19 at the Kassam Stadium to see Oxford secure a narrow 1-0 victory as he steps up preparation to reinvest in his squad over the summer.
Despite media reports, Pearson admitted centre-back Elliott Moore wasn't one of the names on his shortlist although wouldn't give any clues as to which players he showed an interest in.
