Real Madrid club president Florentino Perez has come out in public and defended the Spanish club over David de Gea's failed move, blaming the failure of it on Manchester United's chief exexcutive Ed Woodward.
Perez blames naive Ed Woodward
Perez, who was speaking on Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, said that the failed move was down to to naviety of Wordward, and painted a picture that United are a calamitous club as they tried to unsettle four different Real Madrid players during the transfer window.
Perez says that United "lack experience with transfers" as you can see it's happened before with "Fabio Coentrao, exactly the same" and let's not forget it happened with "Ander Herrera at Athletic Bilbao" which shows that United "have a new [transfers] team that lacks experience."
Perez says its not the first time that Madrid have missed out on a player
Perez continued to say that "we have missed out on players before, like Frank Ribery and Patrick Vieira" but nothing like what happened with United happened before as "they only wanted to start the process 12 hours before the deadline".
Perez says that new people in charge of United are "inexperienced" and that they have worked with "United before, with Peter Kenyon and David Gill with Sir Alex Ferguson" which Perez felt was much easier as they had a lot of experience and would have sorted the deal quicker.
Perez wanted to come out and back up Madrid's statement from the other day
Perez wasn't go to lay down easily over this whole situation as he basically wanted more people to know that it was all United's fault, and that what Madrid said in their statement was the truth and wouldn't lie about what actually happened.
Perez just cannot get how when you send the documents to a club it then takes "eight hours" for the club to respond, but wants to move on with the squad that Madrid now have and "doesn't know" what will happen next year with the De Gea situation.
