Manchester United Squad Tops Premier League For Transfer Cost Per Point

Manchester United have won 63 points in the Premier League so far this season - but they've come at a price.

The Old Trafford club spent £495.5m assembling their current squad, meaning each point they've won this season has cost £7.86m so far.

In contrast, overachieving West Brom's haul of 44 points has cost a league-low £1.47m in transfer fees, followed by Burnley (£1.57m per point), Hull City (£1.70m) and Bournemouth (£1.75m).

United splashed a world record £93.25m on Paul Pogba last summer - exceeding the total cost of squads at Hull (£56.1m), Burnley (£56.4m), Middlesbrough (£57.7m, West Brom (£64.5m), Bournemouth (£66.5m), Swansea (£71.8m), Watford (£73.7m) and Sunderland (£82.1m).

Mourinho's men face Manchester City, live on Sky Sports this Thursday, and Pep Guardiola's squad actually cost £1m more than United's to assemble, with their 64 points each costing £7.76m - only £107,254 less than their rivals.

Arsenal's £306.1m squad averages at £5.10m for each of their 60 Premier League points this season, which currently places them sixth in the league table.

League leaders Chelsea's £342.7m squad has cost £4.39m per point, while Liverpool's £260.5m squad averages at £3.95m per point.

However, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino deserves plenty of praise for the work he's done this season, considering second-placed Spurs' squad cost under £200m to put together.

Their 74 points have cost only £2.70m each - significantly below the league average of £3.37m.
