The Paris Saint-Germain coach has shrugged off criticism from the Manchester United boss regarding PSG’s heavy spending in the transfer market this summer
The cash-laden club from Paris has come under severe criticism from the Red Devils’ manager, after Les Parisiens beat the Premier League giants to the signature of Lucas Moura.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 international was on the verge of moving to Old Trafford earlier this month, but Paris Saint-Germain hijacked their bid for the youngster.
The Parisiens splashed out 34 million Pounds to acquire the services of the 20-year-old. And the fact that the Ligue 1 outfit has spent so much on a player, who is yet to prove himself on a bigger stage, has angered Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson.
While talking to reporters, the 70-year-old tactician slammed PSG for their lavish spending and believes that the Ligue 1 outfit has done so in order to make a mark on everyone.
"To make a mark on everyone - to tell everyone that PSG are here. They must have spent about £150 million in the last month,” the former Aberdeen manager told reporters.
However, Carlo Ancelotti has hit back at Ferguson claiming that Paris Saint-Germain were right to spend this summer.
While talking about Lucas Moura, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 manager stated that the youngster would be an instant hit at Parc des Princes and they are glad to have a player like him in their ranks.
“Players now come to PSG for the project. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528 will join a strong Brazilian colony here and for him it is better to live in Paris,” Ancelotti replied when asked about the 20-year-old.
The 53-year-old stated that Les Parisiens offered more money than Manchester United for Lucas http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moura-c26908 and they did not use any foul methods to secure his signature.
“United offered one amount and PSG offered slightly more. It’s called the law of the market.”
"This year we have invested so much because we want to be competitive straight away, but we won’t always buy four or five players. Next year we’ll be shrewder."
After failing to secure a victory in their opening two games, Paris Saint-Germain will host Bordeaux at Parc des Princes this Sunday, and Carlo Ancelotti would be hoping for a better showing from his side this time around.
