After nearly two months of negotiations with Brentford, MU thought they had successfully forced down the price. But in reality, they paid 71 million pounds , more than the initial request of 65 million pounds for Bryan Mbeumo . Having been rejected twice, the "Red Devils" still nodded when Brentford asked for an additional 5 million pounds. |

In 2019, MU raised the price from 60 to 70 and then... 80 million pounds to recruit Harry Maguire , thereby making him the most expensive central defender in history. A contract that, up to now, both the team and the fans do not understand why it became so expensive. |

Marouane Fellaini is evidence of United's disastrous transfer business. Fellaini had a £23.5m release clause that expired at the end of July. United waited until August to make a decision, and ended up paying £27.5m . They lost another £4m just because they were indecisive. |
 |
Mason Mount has just one year left on his Chelsea contract, but has cost United £60m . After offering £55m and threatening to walk away, they came back and agreed to pay more. Given Mount's injury history, this could be another bad gamble. |
 |
In 2019, Phil Jones was unexpectedly given a four-year contract extension worth £75,000 a week, despite everyone seeing his professional value dwindle. As a result, Jones played just six Premier League games in four seasons and earned nearly £16 million in wages. |

To win Alexis Sanchez from Man City, MU offered the Chilean star a salary of 350,000 pounds/week, which could rise to 560,000 pounds with add-ons. When at Arsenal, Alexis Sanchez only received 140,000 pounds/week. According to The Times , this was a wage breach that led to consequences that lasted for many years at Old Trafford. |
 |
MU spent 40 million pounds on Donny van de Beek , a midfielder who did not fit the style of play. The Dutch midfielder was never used properly, and after 4 quiet years, he left quietly for an incredibly low fee of only 500,000 pounds. |
 |
Paul Pogba left United for free in 2012, then returned for £89m in 2016. And then the Frenchman left again, also for free. An incredible cycle of waste for a player once seen as the centrepiece of a rebuilding project. |
 |
Memphis Depay came from PSV with high expectations, but left in disappointment after 2 years, costing MU 25 million pounds . After that, the Dutch striker shone brightly at Lyon, Barcelona and the national team. A wasted talent of the "Red Devils". |
 |
MU paid 6 million pounds in loan fees and 265,000 pounds a week for Radamel Falcao, who had just returned from a serious injury. 4 goals in 29 games was all MU got in return. At least they were lucky not to buy this striker for 43.5 million pounds. |
