Man United overpaid on new signings by a whopping £210MILLION over the last decade - more than any other top club in Europe - with Juventus, PSG, Aston Villa and Real Madrid also stung by transfer market inflation

Manchester United have paid £210million over true market value for new signings over the past decade - more than any other club in Europe's big five leagues.

The Old Trafford club have spent a total of £1.4billion on 33 players since 2012 when they were only worth a combined £1.19bn, according to a study by the CIES Football Observatory.

Their signings include the £89m purchase of Paul Pogba, then a world record fee, the £85m spent on Antony this summer and £80m to buy Harry Maguire.

Manchester United - who broke the world transfer record to buy Paul Pogba for u00a389m in 2016 - have overpaid by u00a3210million on the true market value of players since 2012
The u00a385m Brazilian winger Antony was the latest big-money addition to the Old Trafford squad

Jadon Sancho, Romelu Lukaku, Angel Di Maria, Casemiro, Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Martial, Fred and Lisandro Martinez have also cost United in excess of £50m during that time frame.
