Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has hit out at Manchester United over the failed David De Gea transfer.
The Spanish giants were unable to sign the Red Devils goalkeeper on deadline day as United reportedly flopped with the submission of the necessary paperwork before the Spanish transfer deadline of 11pm Monday.
There has been to-ing and fro-ing since the embarrassing debacle, with both clubs blaming each other for the fiasco, but Perez feels it came down to an inexperienced United hierarchy let by executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.
"I think what they lack is experience," Perez told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.
"It happened last year with [Fabio] Coentrao, exactly the same.
"And it happened with Ander Herrera and Athletic Bilbao. They have a new team and they lack experience.
"We have missed out on players before, Franck Ribery and Patrick Vieira for example, but what is surprising is that someone wants to do a deal and only starts the process 12 hours before.
"It's the inexperience of the new people in charge.
"We have worked with them before [without problems], with Peter Kenyon and David Gil and with Sir Alex Ferguson.
"We still have good relationship with Manchester United but this is the exactly the same as happened before with Coentrao and Herrera and we thought they would have learned from what happened in the past."
