Man Utd reveal Premier League record annual revenue but still make loss<\/h3>\n

As many as 24 players have been signed by Manchester United and then departed since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, but the club have lost a staggering \u00a3495million and made a profit on just one. The Red Devils have been cautious of Financial Fair Play constraints over the past two seasons under Erik ten Hag, but some better decisions in previous windows could have prevented them from being hamstrung in the market.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the 2013\/14 season, David Moyes was handpicked to replace Ferguson but only one player followed him through the door when Marouane Fellaini also left Everton for Old Trafford. The towering Belgian came in for \u00a332.4m and after years of service United recouped just \u00a37.2m as he moved to China. Juan Mata joined in January from Chelsea for \u00a344.7m but he would leave eight years later on a free transfer.<\/p>\n

Moyes was sacked and replaced by Louis van Gaal who brought in four senior players that season in Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera, Marcus Rojo and Danny Blind for a combined \u00a3148.5m. However, just Di Maria and Blind were sold for a transfer fee, albeit at a loss of \u00a312m and \u00a31.5m respectively. Youngster Vanja Milinkovic-Savic also joined for \u00a31.8m and left for free the following year after failing to gain a work permit.<\/p>\n

Van Gaal\u2019s second season then saw Morgan Schneiderlin, Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sergio Romero head to Old Trafford. The Argentinian goalkeeper joined and left on a free, while no money was recouped for the \u00a39m spent on Schweinsteiger.<\/p>\n

Darmian similarly cost \u00a318m but was sold to Inter Milan for \u00a32.5m where he went on to reach the Champions League final last season. Depay and Schneiderlin arrived with plenty of promise but United only got back half of the combined \u00a369m spent on the disappointing pair.<\/p>\n

Jose Mourinho joined the following summer and splashed out by paying a record fee to bring academy product Paul Pogba back to the club. However, his story ended in a similar fashion to those before him as he ended his United pain by leaving on a free transfer to Juventus last year.<\/p>\n

Henrikh Mkhitaryan also joined for \u00a342m but left as part of a swap deal for Arsenal\u2019s Alexis Sanchez, with the Armenian valued at \u00a335m in the deal. Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined and left, both on free transfers.<\/p>\n
