Ranking all 45 first-team signings made since Sir Alex Ferguson retired

Manchester United have spent over £1.2 billion since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. That’s a lot of money for zero league titles…

We have ranked all 45 signings made for the first team post-Ferguson. All transfer fees are taken via Transfermarkt. Just a warning, it’s a pretty horrid list.

 

45) Alexis Sanchez (swap)
The Red Devils signed one of the best players in the Premier League on astronomical wages and he seemed to become an incompetent footballer overnight. At least he is a talented pianist.

 

44) Andy Kellett (loan)

40) Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£49.5m)
He puts in a mean slide tackle. But that’s about it. Poor in the final third and suspect defensively at times; Wan-Bissaka has simply not been good enough since his big-money move from Crystal Palace.

 

39) Memphis Depay (£30.6m)
Wearing the No. 7 shirt has become something of a curse since Cristiano Ronaldo left in 2009, even for the Portuguese himself since his return last summer to a certain extent.

Depay came in as a terrific youngster from the Netherlands and took on the…
