Manchester United's high-priced players in the transfer market in recent years have often failed to show their due value, whether it is Paul Pogba, who was bought back from academy, or Maguire, who wears the captain's armband, which is a big disappointment.
According to the latest report from the International Sports Research Centre (CIES), Manchester United's net loss in the transfer market in the past 10 years has exceeded 900 million pounds, the premier league, but only 4 major trophies, which is very inefficient.
CIES reported that United spent £1.3 billion on players in the transfer market in the 10 years since the summer of 2012, earning only £397 million from the sale of players, winning only four major trophies during the period and not winning any trophies since 2017.
The Red Devils' net spending in the transfer market is as high as £909 million, the world's largest in the past 10 years, and higher than the spending rival Manchester City. They bought their own academy-trained Pogba from Juventus in 2016 for £89.5 million, and the French star has yet to play for a fortune, and this summer he is bound to leave the team on a free throw, leaving the team without a score.
The situation is similar for Martial, which was bought for £36 million in 2015 and Vanderbeck, which bought for £40 million in 2020. The duo sat on the cold bench and lent to Sevilla and Everton in the Transfer Window in January this year, and their future in the team is not bright, and even if they can finally earn back a little transfer fee and leave the team, it will certainly depreciate a lot.
Of course, it must be mentioned that in 2019, captain Maguire, who broke the record for a defender transfer fee, shot from Leicester City for 80 million pounds and has not performed as expected. Guard coach Ronnick was rumored to have submitted a report to the top, naming Maguire as one of the players who did not reach the Red Devils' starting level.
Even though City's actual spending of £1.43 billion is higher than Manchester United's, Blue Moon has made 602 million in selling players, and their net transfer expense is £828 million, which is lower than Manchester United's £81 million, but there are as many as 11 major trophies, far better than Manchester United and the top of the Premier League opponents.
Among The European clubs, the third largest net transfer spend is the £793 million (about €941 million) France Banba Paris, and the fourth is Barca, which is currently in deep financial difficulties, with a net transfer expenditure of £548 million (about €650 million) over the past 10 years.
The team with the highest net transfer expense in the last 10 years:
1. Manchester United / £909 million / major trophies: 4
Manchester City / £832 million / major trophies: 11
3. Arsenal / £493 million / major trophies: 4
4. Everton / £362 million / major trophies: 0
5. Vera / £358 million / major trophies: 0
Chelsea / £349 million / major trophies: 6
7. West Ham / £316 million / major trophies: 0
8. Liverpool / £293 million / major trophies: 2
9. Newcastle / £286 million / major trophies: 0
10. Tottenham Hotspur / £284 million / major trophies: 0
In the Premier League, the club with the highest net transfer cost in the past 10 years after Manchester United and Manchester City is unexpectedly Arsenal, which has always been stingy. The Gunners have won four FA Cups during this time, but Everton and Villa, who are fourth and fifth, will not get any trophies.
Chelsea, which has been trading well in recent years, is sixth with £349 million, but has won six major trophies, including two Premier League and Europa League, and won the Champions League last season, as well as the FA Cup. Liverpool finished eighth with £293 million, winning the Champions League and then the Premier League.
