Manchester United chief David Gill has called on UEFA to get serious with Manchester City over their transfer spending. Gill has cranked up the heat on their 'noisy neighbours' by urging UEFA to come down hard on teams who break new financial fair play regulations.
The likes of Manchester City and French side Paris St Germain have risen to the top of their respective domestic leagues on the back of the vast wealth of their Middle Eastern owners.
City revealed this month that their £174m wage bill was £21m more than total revenue.
United have spent under 50 per cent since 1991 (apart from 2006), although their total wage bill was almost the same as City's last year.
"Ever since we floated back in 1991, we have had [this] policy," said Gill, who made no reference to City.
"That's our model ... [FFP will] have a requirement that clubs have to break even."
