Manchester United: 740 million thrown away

The Manchester United crisis continues to eat away at a club that will go blank for another season. It will be the fifth in a row without raising any cup. The last two date back to 2017, when the team then led by Mourinho won the Europa League and the Carabao Cup. Since then, the most absolute desert.

In this time, the offices of Old Trafford have fumed in search of the signings that give the team a qualitative leap. The proper names arrived, it is a fact. The cost in reinforcements in the last five years shot up to 740 million. Last summer, without going any further, the Mancunian team spent 140 on the arrivals of Sancho (85), Varane (40) and Cristiano (15). The result could not have been more disappointing.

The same thing happened in the previous campaign, in which United invested 83.8 in Van de Beek (39), Diallo (21.3), Telles (15) and Pellistri (8.5); in 19/20 the club spent 234.8 on Maguire (87), Bruno (63), Wan Bissaka (55), James (17.8) and Ighalo (12); in 18/19 Fred (59), Dalot (22) and Grant (1.7) arrived for a total of 82.7; and in the first of those that he completed blank, he left 198.4 million in Lukaku (84.7), Matic (44.7), Lindelof (35) and Alexis (34).

The tendency of the club is high expenses and no title. I mean, a drama. Some of his millionaire investments have already left the club or have a testimonial role, such as Van de Beek. Others continue to have the confidence of the coach but are widely criticized for their discreet performances. This is the case of Maguire or Varane. United is a powder keg. As some analysts say, he is so poor that he only has money…
