Man Utd finish BOTTOM of Premier League ‘value for money’ table… with each flop costing £100k in wages per point
MANCHESTER UNITED’S flops have cost the club £100,000 each per point after the club finished bottom of the ‘value for money’ table.
Ole Gunner Solskjaer‘s men have struggled this season – with the club losing eight out of their last 12 games in all competitions.
Despite the Norwegian winning 14 out of his opening 19 matches in charge before being given the full-time job, he failed to guide the Red Devils into the top four.
United finished in sixth spot – five points behind Tottenham in fourth following the 2-0 defeat against Cardiff– with the club braced for a busy summer at Old Trafford in the transfer market.
And Solskjaer could be willing to offload a number of high-profile players after stats proved his squad are failing to provide their worth when it comes to getting results.
The club’s average first-team basic pay for the campaign was £6,534,654 – the highest total for any side in the division.
In stats obtained by Sporting Intelligence’s Nick Harris, United forked out £99,010 per player per point.
Alexis Sanchez – without a goal in the Premier League since October – pockets £505,000-a-week at the Theatre of Dreams, while Paul Pogba takes home £290,000-a-week.
In comparison with the Bluebirds – who finished top off the alternative Prem table – they only spent £28,161 per man per point.
