"Manchester United" has spent a fortune trying to replace Robin van Persie, the last striker to score more than 20 goals in a season.
Lent.az reports, citing foreign media, that Ruben Amorim intends to spend £207.5 million this summer on players such as Brian Mbemo, Mateus Cunha and Benjamin Sesko. After the failures of the club's previous forwards, this trio must make great efforts to make progress.
Let's see which attacking-minded player of "Manchester United" turned out to be the most unsuccessful acquisition. The table shows the number of goals, transfer value and average cost per goal:
Angel Di Maria arrived from Real Madrid in 2014 for £60 million as a superstar. The Argentinian spent only one season in Manchester before being sold to PSG.
He started the season well, scoring in the match against Leicester City. However, he only managed to score two goals in the Premier League, each costing the club £20 million.
Former Ajax player Anthoni cost the club £85 million when he reunited with Erik ten Hag, but failed to live up to expectations and scored just five Premier League goals.
Each goal cost "Manchester United" £17 million, and the club is now trying to sell the player before the transfer window closes.
