According to a survey by ESPN, Manchester United has become the owner of the most expensive squad in the world. After the departure of young promise Ferran Torres from Manchester City – who transferred for 55 million euros to Barcelona (almost R$ 352 million) – Pep Guardiola’s team lost the position of most valuable team.
However, the difference between the teams is only one million euros. The Red Devils have a squad valued at 801 million euros (R$ 5.12 billion), while the Citizens are close behind, valued at 800 million euros (R$ 5.11 billion).
In the field, however, the proximity is not reflected. United has a disappointing campaign in the Premier League and is in seventh place with 31 points. City are at the top of the competition with 53 points, ten ahead of second-placed Chelsea.
Away from the title fight, Cristiano Ronaldo and company are aiming for a spot in next season’s Champions League. The team is four points behind Arsenal – fourth place – and has a game less than the rival.
