Manuel Pellegrini Angry over Juan Mata's Transfer to Manchester United


Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has joined Arsene Wenger in criticising Juan Mata's transfer from Chelsea to Manchester United.
As reported by Rob Dawson of the Manchester Evening News, Pellegrini is upset about the deal which will see the Spain international move to Old Trafford:




As reported by BBC Sport, Wenger had questioned the fairness of Mata's transfer, saying:

"Maybe the rules should be adapted for more fairness. It opens up questions about the dates of this transfer window.
If you want to respect the fairness for everybody, that should not happen."


Chelsea have played United twice in the Premier League, meaning that they will not face Mata this season.
But City and Arsenal both have to play the Red Devils again, something their managers fear gives United a greater chance of winning, and as a result Chelsea an advantage in the Premier League title race.


Mata is likely to give United a big boost going into the final part of the season, as they have relied on the inexperienced Adnan Januzaj in recent games, due to Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie being injured.
However, he will not help United into fourth place singlehandedly, and once Rooney and van Persie return to the team, there are still questions about where Mata will be played.
Jamie Redknapp insists in the Daily Mail that should not be an issue:


"They could easily go with a midfield diamond with Mata at the top of it behind Rooney and RVP, or he could play in a wider role. As long as Moyes restores his confidence he could play Mata anywhere across the front because he is expert at playing in between the lines."


Trailing Arsenal by 14 points, United are too far behind to mount a title challenge, and the notion that the signing is unfair is ridiculous given the cash that City and Arsenal spent during the summer.
Pellegrini, especially, was at a huge advantage when he arrived at City, and much of his success this season can be put down to the club's large investment in new players. Per Bleacher Report

These are Said to Be the Best Goalkeepers in the World, Ranking from 1-25

25. Stephane Ruffier, Saint-Etienne Had Stephane Ruffier not sustained a groin injury in 2011, Monaco might never have been relegated to Ligue 2. But he did, and they were, and that summer the then-24-year-old goalkeeper joined Saint-Etienne, rebuffing Manchester City in the progress. This season he played all 38 Ligue 1 matches for Les Verts for a second season in succession, conceding just 32 goals as his side finished a surprising fifth in the standings and qualified for the Europa League. 24. Pepe Reina, Liverpool Only Joe Hart kept more Premier League clean sheets than Pepe Reina in 2012-13. In a season that saw Liverpool finish a disappointing seventh in the English top-flight, the 30-year-old managed to keep things respectable from a defensive standpoint, conceding only 34 goals and stopping 88 per cent of the shots he faced. To finish the season he conceded just a single goal in his last four matches. 23. Mariano Andujar, Catania Only Parma managed ...
