According to the latest research, Manchester United overspent by more than £100million on new signings in the summer transfer window - the most in the Premier League. Chelsea were second on the list after a world-record spend in Todd Boehly's first window as Blues owner.
New research from OLBG has revealed which Premier League clubs got the best value for money in the summer transfer window, by comparing transfer fees paid to players' estimated market value. Findings showed that 17 of the 20 top-flight clubs ‘overspent’ on players this summer, meaning they paid more than their market value.
United were the biggest 'overspenders' by some distance as Erik ten Hag's side paid approximately £102million more than market value for their five permanent signings. The biggest hit came as a result of the purchase of Brazilian winger Antony who costed £54million above his value.
