Man United purchase Benjamin Sesko: Who are the club's most expensive signings ever?

Manchester United are no strangers to paying out significant transfer fees, but it would be fair to say that a number of those have not been too successful in terms of value for money.

The 2025 summer transfer window was yet another high-spending one for Manchester United, with five players coming through the door for just over £200m. 

The Red Devils fans will be hoping that these players live up to expectations and help lead the club back up the table after a miserable 2024-25 Premier League campaign.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the club's most expensive signings in their history.
