New Manchester United striker Anthony Martial is joined by Manchester City's latest purchase Kevin De Bruyne as the two most overpriced players in the summer transfer window, according to a recent study.

The CIES Football Observatory (h/t Richard Jolly of ESPN FC) suggest United paid €27.9 million (£20.4 million) over the odds for Martial, while De Bruyne's estimated value was €26.6 million (£19.4 million) lower than the €74 million (£54 million) fee City paid Wolfsburg for the Belgian.
