Arsene Wenger has questioned Manchester United’s decision to sign Anthony Martial and believes there was a lack of high-quality players available in the summer transfer market.
Martial became the world’s most expensive teenager after joining United from Monaco on deadline day in a deal that could eventually be worth up to €80 million (£59m).
“I’ve heard Martial scored 11 goals in the French championship - that sums it all up well,” Wenger told beIN Sports.
“That means it’s not the money that’s missing at the moment, it’s not the desire of investment that’s missing, it’s the number of players available who can strengthen the big clubs.
“So am I happy with the investment I make? Yes. Every time, I bought [Alexis] Sanchez, I bought [Mesut] Ozil, I bought Cech, I bought Gabriel last year, [Mathieu] Debuchy - when you find the players you invest the money.
“The problem at the moment is to find the players that guarantee that you are a better team after.
Wenger has also accused Uefa of softening their Financial Fair Play rules this year and believes the regulations need to be made clearer.
“I’m disappointed... to change the verdict [of Financial Fair Play] during the transfer period I think was not right,” he said.
