Manchester United are eight in the Premier League after 12 games following Sunday’s 3-1 defeat against Manchester City and sit seven points off a top-four spot. Though the club splashes millions on the purchase of new players, they haven’t won the Premier League title since 2013 and have not made the Champions League semifinals since reaching the final in 2011. Nevertheless, United chiefs are still adamant that money will help get United back to the top of world football. Football database TransferMarket has revealed the 10 most valuable players who play at Manchester United.

  • Market value – €60m
The French international has helped lift some of the pressure on Mourinho by scoring six goals from nine Premier League outings.

  1. Fred

  • Age – 25
