The war of words between Manchester United and Real Madrid over the failed transfer of David de Gea to the Santiago Bernabeu has escalated with the Red Devils claiming Los Blancos were clumsy.
The Premier League side made the statement a day after Real president Florentino Perez apologised to Madridista hoping to see ge Gea in a Los Blancos shirt saying the reason the transfer collapsed at the last moment was due to the inexperience of the United directors when handling high profile deals.
Since the deal collapsed due to the paperwork arriving minutes after the close of the transfer window, both clubs have sought to put the blame on each other.
A spokesman for United said on Friday: “The facts speak for themselves. The FA are prepared to back our case that documents were in on time; Real seem intent to move the focus away from their own clumsiness this summer.”
They continued: “We all like to blame others but if you let one slip through your fingers into the back of the net, then ultimately the culpability is yours.”
De Gea is expected to be back in the Red Devils team after the international break having been dropped by Louis van Gaal so far this season.
