Rob Dawson

Manchester United have built a billion-dollar brand (roughly €90 million) since 2018, but the club have won just one trophy -- the 2022-3 Carabao Cup -- in return for such a huge investment in players. Managers Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag have all signed players for big money since the start of 2018, including Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo and Antony. A total of 31 players have arrived at Old Trafford during that five-year period, but how many have proved to be value for money? (All transfer fees below are in euros, via Transfermarkt. Also, asterisks next to player names below denote that the players are no longer with Man United.) (Mark Ogden): In different times, Fred would have been a reliable squad player, he was a reliable midfielder in a midfield that was mediocre at best. Rob Dawson: If he had played in a better midfield, he would have looked better. But was often let down by an inconsistent defence and lack of creativity from the attacking players.
