Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has attacked Manchester City's mega sending. Ferguson blames City for inflating the current transfer market.

Ferguson, virtually resigned to losing his ­Premier League crown to Roberto ­Mancini's side, said: "It's been an ­insane transfer market for a long time and I think clubs like City create that.

"They can buy all the players and put a marker on all the ­players and that makes it ­difficult for clubs then to be ­reasonable. There's no chance of that calming down and I don't see how the financial fair play can work. No-one can match City's financial power - ­no-one. We have to accept that, so we do it a different way. We'll try to look at young ­players with the potential to develop in the club, which we're good at, so we'll stay with that."
