Manchester United lost 400 million Euros in value over the last 5 years

According to research prepared by the International Centre for Sports Studies Football Observatory, English Premier League team Manchester United experienced a value loss of 400 million Euros due to its transfer policy and strategy over the past five years.

In the study by the International Centre for Sports Studies Football Observatory examining the performance of clubs whose transfer expenditures have exceeded 50 million Euros since 2021, transfer fees, player sales revenues, and changes in the market values of players in the squad were taken into account. As a result of the examination, Manchester United ranked last among European clubs with a value loss of 400 million Euros, while remaining ahead of only Al-Hilal globally.

The high-cost transfers carried out by the club in recent years led to major economic losses. Antony being bought for 95 million Euros and later sent to Real Betis for 25 million Euros, the failure to recover the 87 million Euros paid to Borussia Dortmund for Jadon Sancho, and the loss experienced with Rasmus Hojlund's departure to Napoli revealed the problems in the process. Additionally, the report stated that players such as Andre Onana, Mason Mount, and Joshua Zirkzee also failed to meet expectations.
