The most expensive rookie squad in MU history

MU has completed the Bryan Mbeumo deal, thereby adding quality to the attack line next season. This deal costs the "Red Devils" up to 82 million euros . Pursuing Mbeumo is an important part of coach Ruben Amorim's attack restructuring plan. MU plans to sell Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony to bring in Mbeumo who is more suitable for his playing style.

Paul Pogba is the most expensive transfer in the history of Old Trafford with a price of 105 million euros . The French midfielder possesses the qualities of a top midfielder but cannot maintain his form due to continuous injuries. Not to mention the player born in 1993 also has an unprofessional attitude. After completing a 6-year contract, Pogba left as a free agent. Pogba has just completed an 18-month ban for doping. He currently has no new destination.

Antony 's performance at Old Trafford did not meet expectations despite costing 95 million euros . The former Ajax star's playing style was criticized by fans and legends as "one-dimensional". Defenders in the Premier League also did not have much difficulty predicting the Brazilian player. However, Antony played well when he was on loan at Real Betis. The "Red Devils" are likely to sell him this summer.

It took Harry Maguire less than a year to be named captain of the Old Trafford club. However, the English star's form has declined since then, even becoming a burden for the "Red Devils" every time he plays. Last season, the 87 million euro contract gradually regained its inspiration to play football and could be retained to help MU overcome difficulties.

Jadon Sancho has been dominating the Bundesliga but has shown his physical weaknesses in the Premier League. In the 2024/25 season, Sancho played for Chelsea on loan but his performance was unconvincing. MU accepted to sell at a loss of about 30 million euros despite spending 85 million euros on this player.

Romelu Lukaku cost MU 84.7 million euros. "Big Rom" scored 42 goals in 96 matches for MU, not too bad a record. However, what fans remember about the Belgian striker is his clumsy handling and oversized body. The most expensive striker in MU history was kicked out after only 2 seasons. He just won the 2024/25 Serie A with Napoli.

MU is said to have run out of patience with Rasmus Hojlund . The 77 million euro striker scored only 4 goals in 31 appearances in the Premier League and 6 more in the Europa League last season. This number is too small compared to the expectations of a player leading the MU attack.

MU recruited Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid for 75 million euros. This is one of the worst contracts in the history of the Old Trafford team. Di Maria joined MU for a record fee in 2014 but left after only one season due to dissatisfaction with coach Louis van Gaal.

MU agreed to pay the full release clause of 74 million euros for Matheus Cunha . He signed a 5-year contract with the "Red Devils". Cunha is considered a suitable name for the system of coach Amorim. Cunha often operates as a left-sided number 10, and also plays in many different positions in the attack.

The arrival of Casemiro helped change the face of MU's midfield in the first season. The former Real star proved his class as a top central midfielder and regularly scored goals from high balls. Casemiro then declined before finding himself again in the final stages of the 2024/25 season. 70.7 million euros is the amount MU spent on Casemiro.
