The Red Devils have won more major trophies than any other English club (66) and have won the most Premier League titles (20), one more than fierce rivals Liverpool.

A significant part of their success came in the last three decades and mainly during the era of their legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, who guided the team to multiple titles, including 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League titles, five FA Cups and four League Cups, among others. Many others.

However, the Red Devils' success has come at a price, as they have spent more than €2 billion in the 21st century on player signings. Just at the turn of the century, United spent €46 million to sign Rio Ferdinand, the club's record signing until Angel Di Maria joined in 2014 for €75 million from Real Madrid.

However, over the last decade the team’s success has declined terribly. After the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, United struggled to find a successful replacement. The club spent a fortune on new players but the investments failed to show an impact on the pitch. More recently, United’s failures have never showed so clearly as they have failed to lift a trophy since 2017.

Over spending over the ten years

Most of its big spending came in the last decade, when money began to flow out of Old Trafford at an ever-increasing rate. Paul Pogba, Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Martial joined the club in the last 10 years for gargantuan transfer fees. Signings that did not have the desired impact on the club.
