Man City Could have signed Di Maria if Not for Platini and Co,says Pellegrini

Thegoalmac understands that Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has revealed the Premier League champions could not afford to sign Angel Di Maria due to Financial Fair Play by Uefa.

For me Financial fair play (FFP)is a welcome development in football,as it will help teams not to spend more than they generate,by virtue of having sugar daddies who just wants to buying immediate success in football.

This will to an extent curb the over paying for players and also help teams to focus on their academies and young up coming talents a lot more other than buying established and big names all the time.
Are you for or against FFP?Continue for what engineer Pellegrini said.

 "I think it is very easy," he told reporters. "We had important restrictions about our budget this year. We cannot spend the money that United paid for Di Maria.

"We had important restrictions on the amount of players we can have this year and also the amount of money we can spend."

Di Maria will line-up for the Old Trafford outfit when they travel to the Etihad Stadium for the first Manchester derby of the season, with Wayne Rooney set to join him in the starting XI after a three-match suspension.

And though Pellegrini believes the former Benfica star will cause his side a threat, there are others in Louis van Gaal's teams who must be stopped.

"If you asked me if he is a good player I think he is a good player and a very useful player for every team.

"I think he is a very good player but he is not the only good player at Manchester United."
