UEFA statistics indicates that Manchester United fielded the most expensive football team ever the previous season.
After taking third place in the Premier League, winning the FA Cup, and the Carabao Cup the previous season, Erik ten Hag’s team spent £1.2 billion on transfers.
United was knocked out of the UEFA Champions League and now sits sixth in the Premier League, despite their recent improvement.
The unprecedented amount will mean substantial bonuses for Antony (worth £86 million), Harry Maguire (worth £80 million), Jadon Sancho (for £73 million), and Casemiro (worth £70 million). Not mentioned are a few pricey summer expansions for the fiscal year 2022–2023.
