Former Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho spent more than £350million on these 11 players for the Red Devils despite all the complaints of not signing enough quality player. But how many have shone at Old Trafford and how many have been duds?
We take a rule at the players who have proved to be hits and and those who have been misses.
ERIC BAILLY (£30m, From Villarreal)
VERDICT: JURY’S OUT
The central defender has endured difficulties with Mourinho but could yet come good in the future.
ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC (Free, From PSG)
VERDICT: HIT
Integral in his first season, scoring 29 goals and acting as a catalyst for change after Louis van Gaal. Should never have returned after his knee injury.
PAUL POGBA (£89m, From Juventus)
VERDICT: MISS
Might well turn his United career around but performances have not been good enough and is one cause of factions within the camp.
HENRIKH MKHITARYAN (£26m, From Dortmund)
VERDICT: MISS
The Armenian never took to playing at Old Trafford and struggled for much of his 18 months under Mourinho.
VICTOR LINDELOF (£31m, From Benfica)
VERDICT: JURY’S OUT
A calamitous, error-strewn first season but is beginning to look more composed and became one of Mourinho’s more dependable players towards the end.
NEMANJA MATIC (£40m, From Chelsea)
VERDICT: HIT
Matic has looked off the pace of late but did act as a calming influence in midfield last term when United really needed one.
ALEXIS SANCHEZ (Swap Deal, With Arsenal)
VERDICT: MISS
Looks a shadow of the player who starred at Arsenal and is not a happy man. Earns a minimum of £350,000 a week and has recorded just one Premier League goal since March.
DIOGO DALOT (£19m, From Porto)
VERDICT: HIT
The 19-year-old has been afforded time to bed in but looks like he has the tools to succeed at United after just a handful of appearances.
FRED (£52m, From Shakhtar Donetsk)
VERDICT: MISS
Not the midfielder United thought they were signing. Only 12 appearances so far and has looked lost. Recently found a place on the bench hard to come by.
LEE GRANT (Free, From Stoke City)
VERDICT: JURY’S OUT
Brought in as a cheap third choice goalkeeper while Joel Pereira is out on loan. Came on during a penalty-shootout defeat by Derby when Sergio Romero was sent off.
ROMELU LUKAKU (£75m, From Everton)
VERDICT: JURY’S OUT
Needs a new lease of life. Despite decent goal record last year has flattered to deceive recently.
