The 20 football clubs to have spent the most money in the 21st century - Man Utd sixth

Manchester City have spent massively since Abu Dhabi United Group bought the club in 2008.

The owners have spent billions on acquiring the world’s best players over the past 14 years.

City’s spending continued last week as they completed the £51m acquisition of Erling Haaland.

The Citizens could spend even more in the near future, with moves for Brighton’s Marc Cucurella and Leeds’ Kalvin Phillips touted.
