Man United’s £77m overspend on Antony, Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro revealed

Manchester United paid £77million (€87 million) more for Antony, Lisandro Martinez and Casemiro this summer than they were actually worth, according to a new study.

The Red Devils were found to have the highest overspend of any club in Europe’s ‘big five’ leagues when reported transfer fees were compared to a player’s estimated value prior to transfer.

The study by Swiss-based CIES Football Observatory, published on Monday, showed United had paid a combined €238 million more than the estimated total value of 33 players they had signed since July 2012.
