At the end of the European Championship, as planned, Manchester United announced the transfer of winger Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund. The Mancunians hunted the player for a long time and finally got him into their ranks. Time will tell how effective the signing of the Englishman was. But, be that as it may, Sancho has already gone down in United history – as one of the most expensive newcomers. Let’s see who keeps him company on this list.

Jadon Sancho
Sancho’s transfer was perhaps the loudest for Manchester United in recent years. First, the Mancunians have recruited one of the best young players in Europe. Secondly, Jadon has become one of the most expensive signings for United. The Englishman entered the top three for this indicator, displacing Lukaku from there. Sancho really wanted to play in the Premier League and got the opportunity. England has high hopes for the young winger. In theory, one of the best Bundesliga assistants should not get lost in the Premier League, but only time will tell how successful this transfer was for both sides.
Harry Maguire
Manchester United has been on the hunt for central defenders for several years now. The Mancunians considered Maguire the ideal leader of the defensive redoubts and paid Leicester an impressive sum for him. In Manchester, Harry received support and the captain’s armband. Some of the club’s legends, such as Roy Keane, disagree that the footballer is worthy of such accolades. But the Mankunians continue to believe in the player and have signed him a good partner in the person of Rafael Varan, for whom they also did not spare money. With such a pair of defenders, Manchester United has increased chances of a successful performance next season.
Paul Pogba
Pogba is the most expensive transfer in Manchester United history. The Frenchman is the only one for whom the Mancunians paid more than 100 million euros. It happened in August 2016. It cannot be said that the midfielder is doing very well in Manchester. In 5 years he won only the Europa League and the League Cup with United. These are not the most prestigious trophies for both a football player and a club. Pogba has 1 year left under his contract with Manchester United. This summer, the player will have to make an important decision. On the one hand, the Mancunians have assembled a squad capable of achieving lofty goals. But it looks like the Frenchman is no longer very interested in playing at Old Trafford. United wants to keep the world champion in the team, but everything will depend only on him.
