Manchester United are within their rights to pay agents multi-million pound sums as fragment of transfers,FA chairman Greg Clarke has said - but the sport needs a debate approximately the issue.
Fifa boss Gianni Infantino has called for more transparency around transfers.
World football's governing body is looking into Paul Pogba's world-record transfer from Juventus to Manchester United. It follows claims that Pogba's agent will earn £41m from the deal.
"If that's what they're [Manchester United] going to pay, that's what they're going to pay, or " Clarke told BBC Sport.
"They are accountable to their owners; they're accountable to their fans.
"How much should we pay for players? How much should go to agents as a commercial transaction?
"If football wants to change that and limit the amount of money that agents derive we're going to enjoy to sit down as a game,led by the professional game, the Premier League and the EFL and the clubs and talk approximately that.[br]"I just think picking on one transfer and demonising it is not that helpful. Knee-jerk reactions don't often yield good outcomes. What we want is some thought approximately how much money stays in the game so it can be invested in long-term productive things."
