Man Utd have a far better return on investment than Man City since the Inception of the PL. That talk of 3 consecutive PL is convenient because they didn't win the the fourth year before, else we will hear 4 consecutive PL.

The real question is why stop at 3? Even the headline didn't specify that. City may have been making a profit now, selling off the loot they have accumulated in a short while, that's okay! But no person with real EPL knowledge will be hoodwinked.

City actually spent hell to be where they are today, mega money signings on zero balance, poaching and offering players mad money to join, Guardiola alone splashing a billion pounds on defenders, name it. All of these is a result of process across many years.

Where are all these anti-Man Utd people getting their exaggerated quotes from? Quoting addons as part of price is preposterous.

Manchester United's current squad is the most expensive ever assembled ahead of Chelsea and Manchester City, according to new research from the CIES Football Observatory.

Released on Wednesday, CIES' latest research shows United have spent €1.15billion (£989) on their current squad, with just under £400m gone on transfer fees since Erik ten Hag took over in May of last year.

The Dutchman signed Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez and Tyrell Malacia in his first summer at Old Trafford for a combined outlay of over £120m.

He also sanctioned the £85m purchase of Antony, making the Brazilian the third-most expensive player in United's history after Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku.

This summer, United have spent £72m on Rasmus Hojlund and have signed Mason Mount from Chelsea in a deal worth up to £60m, while Andre Onana joined from Inter Milan for £47m.

The Blues are close behind United having spent £975m on players since Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took over from Roman Abramovich 18 months ago.

Last month, the Blues signed Moises Caicedo from Brighton in a deal worth a British record £115m, breaking the £105m record they had set in January when they signed Enzo Fernandez.

City round out the top three, having spent on £900m on assembling their squad, with just under a quarter of the sum invested on four summer signings this year - Josko Gvardiol, Matheus Nunes, Jeremy Doku and Mateo Kovacic.

Significantly, City have got a much better return on their investment, which has delivered three consecutive Premier League titles and a historic treble last season.

Paris Saint-Germain are the only non-Premier League to squeeze into the top five.

The Ligue 1 champions' squad is worth a combined £860m, but the Parisians have spent more than anyone else on their attack with £480m invested on strikers.

He spent under400 Sir not over and took united to champions league and won carabao cup. Those before him that spend more where did they take us? compare to the remaining top teams, Ten Hag spent less than the rest. Uncle you should also know that season just started, some are still rusty and we have others battling injuries, you shouldn't be making conclusion just after 4 matches.
when they pick form now, I know you will be one of those that will call him best coach, make una dey take am easy abeg, the guy the try.

Why do you guys always feel that someone who is criticised is been hated undecided

Why should players be rusty when they had pre-season undecided

They will "pick form" the same way they did last season with clueless pattern of play undecided

Yes, of course, just as I'll call him the best coach when he does well, I'll also call him out when he doesn't do well.

If you enjoy watching Man. U play now, then you can enjoy anything.

All of you fighting those criticising ETH are missing the point. If the team is not winning games but play very intelligently with a clear pattern and tactics, we will know there's progress.

The season started counting right from the first game so if he has any hidden style he should unveil it immediately.
