Transfer Ban, Manchester United’s Strategy to Defeat Manchester City

DBasia.news – Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho admits his squad are far behind Manchester City.

However, Mourinho still has the chance to cut the distance.

Manchester United haven’t won the Premier League since 2012-2013. Meanwhile, this season, Romelu Lukaku and friends are 18 points from the table leader, Manchester City.

One of the factors that differentiate their quality is the activity during the transfer market. The Red Devils often face a difficulty in signing a new player, on the other hand, Man City could sign the desired player easily with their powerful financial situation.

But, for now, Manchester City are under UEFA observation related to the FFP regulation. One of the sanctions is the activity ban during the transfer market.

“It depends also on the way of our evolution but also the evolution of others, the ones that are above us. If they keep going in the same direction and if their ambition, investment, everything, continues that’s one thing,” Mourinho revealed.

“Another thing is if they stop or if Financial Fair Play makes them stop. Then we can close the gap a little bit better. The world is full of suggestions and I never know if they are true or not true. That’s not my job to analyze that.”

Jose Mourinho was rumored in a cold war with Manchester United high-officials after his request to sign the experienced defenders wasn’t fulfilled during the summer transfer market. It’s often mentioned as the trigger behind Man United’s conceded situation.
