FIFA transfer rule change set to save Manchester United and Man City millions

New FIFA regulations will see football clubs pay less agent fees during a player transfer, with Manchester United and Manchester City set to benefit significantly from the fresh rule change.

The rules now stipulate that dual representation - of a club and a player involved in a specific deal - is now banned. As well as this, commission caps will be imposed, which could potentially save both United and City millions of pounds in fees.

Speaking during a press conference in Qatar, FIFA president Gianni Infantino confirmed "a 10 per cent cap on what agents representing buying clubs and players being signed can receive from a transfer."
