Manchester United star, Marcus Rashford, is worth more than the entire Viktoria Plzen squad combined, as we compared the squad values ahead of their European clash.
The Red Devils continue their European campaign with a trip to Czech Republich, as they face a Viktoria Plzen side who have picked up some big results in the Europa League this season.
Sticking with United, Ruben Amorim got off to a strong start as United manager in the last European encounter – as the red half of Manchester beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2 at Old Trafford.
United are unbeaten in Europe this season, drawing to FC Twente, Porto and Fenerbahce and picking up victories against PAOK and Bodo/Glimt.
As previously mentioned, Viktoria Plzen have picked up some huge results in Europe this season and have accumulated the same amount of points as United.
The Czech side have beaten Dynamo Kiev, Real Sociedad and drawn to PAOK, Ludogorets and Frankfurt to put them in good stead to qualify for the knockout stages.
Beating United could prove a difficult task, especially when you look into the squad values of both sides going into the match.
Marcus Rashford is worth more than the entire Viktoria Plzen squad combined and is joined by another 10 United players who are more valuable than Plzen’s entire squad.
Not only that, United’s overall squad value sits at £709 million (according to Transfermarkt) and this is over 20x more than the Czech squad.
UK betting sites have United as favourites for the match and you can find the full squad value analysis below.
