While United spent £200m during the summer, here's how much Galatasaray spent

Manchester United is one of the most important teams in the Premier League. Carrington's team has an outstanding history in the world of football. Since its creation it has become an icon of the city of Manchester and accumulates thousands of fans around the world. For this reason, Man Utd is a club that has not only marked an era in football but has also had a considerable social impact.

Since The Glazers took charge of the Old Trafford team, the problems have not been long in coming. For many fans, the presence of Sir Alex Ferguson delayed the crisis that awaited United in the future by a few years. Since the departure of the historic coach, the team has not been able to achieve anything relevant. Despite the fact that many quality technicians have passed through the team, it simply seems impossible for the team to consolidate again.

Despite this, the billboard with Erik ten Hag sounded to be a little different. The former Ajax coach came to the team with a fixed idea. Due to his work with young talents in the Amsterdam team, the philosophy of youth seemed to be close to being applied at Manchester United. Nevertheless, in a team with established stars, there is not much tolerance for experimenting with new players.

However, despite this, Ten Hag has taken into account players to play their first minutes. Just this season, the team spent approximately £200 million on signings this season alone. Making an objective comparison of how much their recent rival Galatasaray spent, the difference is abysmal and even annoying considering that having players of higher quality, means that they could be more chances of winning.

How much United and Galatasaray spent this summer

According to Fichajes, Galatasaray spent just over £20 million in this transfer window. The Turkish team paid €10 million for Mauro Icardi, who despite missing a penalty, scored the winning goal for the Turks from Old Trafford. Undoubtedly, having more expensive players certainly does not represent victory.
