The Red Devils have broken the transfer record a number of times in the last three decades, but which players have been their best signings?

Getty Images1Eric Cantona – 1992 – £1.2 million from Leeds UnitedManchester United started the Premier League era with a couple of marquee signings, bringing in Dion Dublin from Cambridge United and Eric Cantona from Leeds United. Dublin was Alex Ferguson's second-choice in the transfer market, bringing him to Old Trafford after Alan Shearer moved from Southampton to Blackburn Rovers. He scored just two league goals for the Red Devils before leaving for Coventry City in 1994. On the other hand, Cantona was a revelation for the club, reaching double figures in the Premier League in four of his five seasons, picking up four league titles and two FA Cups along the way.AdvertisementGetty2Roy Keane – 1993 – £3.75m from Nottingham ForestRoy Keane became the most expensive player in English football when he joined United as a 21-year-old and was the face and heart of the team for the next 13 seasons. He played 480 times for the Red Devils winning seven league titles as well as the Champions League in 1999. The Republic of Ireland midfielder was the team's captain for their European success, but missed the final due to suspension after picking up a yellow card during a career-best performance against Juventus in the semi-final.Getty Images3Andy Cole – 1995 – £7m from NewcastleAndy Cole was an immediate success at Manchester United after signing in January 1995. The England attacker ended the season in double figures in the Premier League despite playing just 18 times in half-a-campaign. He went on to score 121 times in all competitions for the club, finishing with five league titles and a Champions League medal.ENJOYED THIS STORY?

Getty Images4Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – 1996 – £1.5m from MoldeOle Gunnar Solskjaer would go down in Manchester United history for one single moment, but scored almost 100 Premier League goals as he became the world's best 'super sub' under Alex Ferguson. He was signed by United after local rivals Manchester City were not willing to take a chance on him, and ended up coming off the bench to score the winner in the club's miraculous comeback in the 1999 Champions League final.

Um número considerável de torcedores do Fortaleza terão o privilégio de ver o clube atuar pela primeira vez fora do país por competições continentais.

Segundo conteúdo veiculado pelo jornalista Fernando Graziani do jornal O Povo, a previsão de público visitante para o embate na Sul-Americana contra o Independiente será de mais de duas mil pessoas.

A ideia inicial era da comercializar 1,5 mil ingressos, mas a procura do torcedor foi tamanha que a diretoria buscou e conseguiu uma carga extra demais mil entradas onde 70% delas acabou vendida, totalizando a negociação de 2,2 mil entradas.

Para se ter uma ideia do tamanho da representatividade que tem esse número, nem mesmo o finalista Flamengo em 2017, jogando também em Avellaneda no primeiro jogo contra o Rojo, chegou a esse patamar. Segundo fontes diferentes, os números chegam a variar de 600 a 1500 torcedores do time do Rio de Janeiro.

A partida em questão ocorrerá na próxima quinta-feira (13) no estádio Libertadores de América às 21h30 (horário de Brasília) com o duelo de volta agendado para a Arena Castelão no dia 27 de fevereiro também às 21h30.

The Eredivisie side will rake in big profits if they sell the rising stars, who look destined to go on to bigger and better things in the near future

GettyFrenkie de Jong

Frenkie de Jong is not happy with his reputation as the new Johan Cruyff, but the 21-year-old midfielder will just have to get used to it as he continues to excel for Ajax and Netherlands.

It seems inevitable that he will become Ajax’s biggest ever sale as Manchester City are prepared to pay €70 million (£62m/$80m) plus €20m (£18m/$23m) in bonuses in order to beat Barcelona to his services.

De Jong had been touted as a Franz Beckenbauer-esque revolutionary defender when he broke into the starting XI last year but he has now become a key component of the Ajax midfield.

He is also quickly blossoming into one of the leading figures in Netherlands’ revitalisation under Ronald Koeman, since his debut in September.

De Jong even showed up N’Golo Kante when he hunted him down to dispossess the Chelsea midfielder in Oranje’s 2-0 win over France, only offering further encouragement to those who expect the Dutchman to become one of the best players in the world.

AdvertisementGettyMatthijs de Ligt

Just a year after Virgil van Dijk became football's most expensive defender, there is already talk of him being usurped by a young compatriot.

Matthijs de Ligt may be just 19 years old but he does not look nor play like it. He is a beast, a boss and will only get better.

A mainstay in the Ajax back line and the team's captain, their only defeat this season – 3-0 to PSV – came in the one game that De Ligt has missed.

He was thrown into the deep end with the national team and endured a disastrous debut against Bulgaria in March 2017, but he emerged seemingly unscathed and has cemented his place in Ronald Koeman's starting XI.

Indeed, he now looks so solid alongside Van Dijk that Koeman and Wesley Sneijder have tipped him to break the latter's record as Oranje's most-capped player.

Barcelona and Manchester City look set to battle it out to sign him in the near future, but a few more of Europe's top sides will be sniffing around too.

Aware that they will not be able to hold on to him for too long, Ajax will listen to offers at the end of the season and will be demanding a massive fee for the potentially world-class defender.

Even if he does not smash Van Dijk's £75 million ($96m) record right away, he won't be far off it.

GettyHakim Ziyech

That the 25-year-old Hakim Ziyech is still playing in the Eredivisie is as much of a mystery as it is a blessing for the Dutch top flight.

It has been six years since he made his first appearance in the league and he soon grew into a star for Heerenveen before joining Twente and becoming a talismanic figure.

As Europe’s bigger sides hesitated, Ajax capitalised in August 2016 just before the transfer window closed and Ziyech immediately injected a creative spark they had been missing since Christian Eriksen’s 2013 departure.

Although the attacking midfielder takes too many long-range shots, he can pull off imaginative passes from almost anywhere on the pitch and has formed a super partnership with Dusan Tadic this season – both have scored seven and set up four in the league. 

Ziyech has 10 goals from 22 appearances for Morocco, too, and is guaranteed a key role at the Africa Cup of Nations.

If he maintains this form for Ajax and Morocco for the rest of the season, then big clubs in the Premier League, Serie A and Bundesliga will surely be interested.

He is tied to Ajax until 2021, however, so the club are in a good position to demand upwards of €40 million for a player they will struggle to replace.

GettyNicolas Tagliafico

With three goals and seven assists in all competitions so far, Nicolas Tagliafico has been a sensation at Ajax since his €4.5 million (£4m/$5m) arrival from Independiente in January.

He had already made 103 appearances for the Argentine side after impressing at Banfield, and in the second tier in Spain with Real Murcia.

Now, he has been trusted with the captain's armband by Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni three times over the last three months. 

Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Arsenal have been linked already, but more clubs are scouting him and at 26 he may see Ajax as a quick stop on his journey to bigger and better things.

Given his talent, Ajax would be in a good position to demand upwards of €25m.

O talento de Marta renderá samba na Série A (grupo de acesso) do Carnaval do Rio de Janeiro. A Inocentes de Belford Roxo reverenciará a dimensão da história de vida da “Rainha” no samba-enredo “Marta do Brasil – Chorar no Começo Para Sorrir no Fim”.

– O fator principal é que ela representa a garra e a força da mulher brasileira, que sonha com uma vida mais digna e com um futuro melhor. A vida dela é um.exemplo para todos os brasileiros. Lutou contra a pobreza, contra o preconceito e até contra as adversidades climáticas. Hoje é embaixadora da ONU Mulheres pelo seu engajamento na batalha contra as desigualdades. Eleita seis vezes pela Fifa a melhor jogadora do mundo. fez da sua chuteira e seu talento as suas principais armas – declarou Reginaldo Gomes, presidente da agremiação.

Carnavalesco da escola de samba localizada na Baixada Fluminense, Jorge Caribé não esconde seu entusiasmo em levar para a avenida a história da camisa 10.

– É uma grande felicidade para nós falarmos de uma mulher vencedora, contar sua trajetória desde o início de vida no Nordeste até a forma como Marta foi alcançando os degraus da fama. Vamos levar muitas coisas positivas para o nosso Carnaval deste ano – disse, ao LANCE!.

De acordo com Caribé, o desfile da Inocentes de Belford Roxo também abrirá espaço para as causas que Marta abraçou com o passar de sua carreira.

– A gente trará um setor homenageando a busca por uma igualdade salarial entre as mulheres e os homens no futebol. Outro setor dará espaço à sua luta contra a homofobia e o preconceito – detalhou.

O carnavalesco também confirmou que o desfile trará presenças ilustres na Marquês de Sapucaí:

– A Pia (Sundhage), técnica da Marta na Seleção, estará presente. E, claro, não poderiam faltar colegas da Marta que a acompanharam em todo este tempo no futebol.

Na véspera do desfile, a camisa 10 esteve no barracão da escola de samba, em Belford Roxo, e acompanhou os últimos preparativos da Inocentes antes do desfile. A relação de Marta com a escola já vem de longa data.

– Quando estava iniciando sua carreira no Vasco (em 2000), ela veio aqui várias vezes. Ao lado da colega de equipe Carol Carioca, jogava nos campos de várzea em Belford Roxo e sambava na Inocentes – disse o presidente da escola de samba, Reginaldo Gomes para, em seguida, ser categórico sobre a “Rainha”:

– Ela é a heroína dos novos tempos – completou.

A Inocentes de Belford Roxo será a segunda escola a desfilar na noite deste sábado na Marquês de Sapucaí. A segunda noite de desfiles da Série A será aberta pela Acadêmicos do Sossego.

‘QUANDO OUÇO O ENREDO, ME EMOCIONA’, DIZ MARTA

A visita de Marta ao barracão da Inocentes de Belford Roxo já deu o tom do que a jogadora espera. Enquanto observava as alegorias feitas pela escola, a “Rainha” contou o que deve sentir na Marquês de Sapucaí.

– Vou ficar desidratada de tanto chorar, porque toda vez que ouço o enredo me emociona – afirmou, ao “Extra”.

A escolha de Marta como enredo da escola da Baixada Fluminense partiu de Carol Carioca, ex-colega de clube da “Rainha”. A Inocentes começou a planejar o tema para o Carnaval deste ano a partir do segundo semestre de 2019.

‘RAINHA’ REPRESENTADA EM OUTRA ESCOLA

A homenagem a Marta não ficou restrita à Inocentes de Belford Roxo. Última escola a desfilar na noite da sexta-feira passada, o Império Serrano dedicou uma ala à “Rainha”. A agremiação leva para a Marquês de Sapucaí o enredo “Lugar de Mulher É Onde Ela Quiser”.

O carnavalesco Júnior Pernambucano destacou o que foi crucial para colocar a jogadora de futebol no desfile da escola de Madureira.

– Marta traz a imagem de uma mulher empoderada. Ela superou desafios, alcançou o sucesso no futebol, conseguiu superar preconceitos e, hoje, é reconhecida no mundo todo. Sem dúvida, é um grande exemplo tanto para as mulheres quanto para todos nós – declarou, ao LANCE!, antes do desfile.

O Império Serrano passou pela avenida marcado por uma sucessão de falhas. Em sua ala, as baianas desfilaram sem saias. A presidente da escola,Vera Lúcia Corrêa, deixou a Marquês de Sapucaí antes do fim do desfile e anunciou que deixará a Imperio.

Clubs are spending huge amounts of money as they aim for success at home and on the continent – but which squads are the most expensive?

Some of the world's most costly squads have been assembled in Europe as clubs pursue silverware.

UEFA's annual Club Licensing Benchmarking Report has revealed that the top 20 most expensively assembled squads on the continent rose in value by 26 per cent at the end of the 2018 financial year when compared with 12 months previously.

Some of the confederation's biggest clubs are included in the list, while there are also some surprises.

All football across the UK has been postponed this weekend following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and many within the game have been impacted

All football matches in the UK were postponed this weekend as a mark of respect following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Sporting authorities were given the option to make a decision whether to play on, and the Football Association, the Premier League and English Football League confirmed on Friday that all matches will be off.

While many questioned the wisdom of the decision, there is no doubt that it will have a knock-on effect for many clubs players and coaches.

Irrespective of the circumstances, there will be some who could gain an advantage from a weekend break, but for others it will be an unfortunate interruption.

GOAL takes a look at those that will have been most affected by the shutdown and why…

(C)Getty imagesGraham Potter

Officially confirmed as the new Chelsea boss on Thursday, Potter was surely eager to get up and running in his new job with a London derby against Fulham.

An extra few days on the training pitch, however, will likely help him settle into his new role, get to know his new squad and introduce some fresh ideas into a side that has lost three of their last five games.

Potter will now start his reign against Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League, in a game that Chelsea need to win after surprisingly losing their opener to Dinamo Zagreb.

Depending on whether next weekend’s fixtures go ahead, his first Premier League match could also now be at Stamford Bridge and a huge clash with Liverpool, so extra preparations for a key double-header will be beneficial.

While a pause could help reset Chelsea’s stuttering form, the opposite is the case for Arsenal, who have made a brilliant start to the season.

Last weekend’s defeat to Manchester United was a setback, but there were still plenty of positives in the way that Mikel Arteta’s side played at Old Trafford, and the early-season leaders will have been desperate to get back to Premier League action to put it right.

It would have been a good time to play Sunday's scheduled visitors Everton, too, with the Toffees not having won all season and were likely to have several key players missing, including goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

And with closest rivals Manchester City and Tottenham facing-off at the Etihad Stadium, it would have been a good opportunity to extend their lead over one or both.

GettyJurgen Klopp

With an injury crisis and defensive issues, a weekend off might help Liverpool after a crazy start to the season.

Liverpool's injury list is one of the longest in the Premier League, but Klopp at least welcomed Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota back to his matchday squad in recent days and can give them extra time to be fully fit to start matches soon.

More pressing is a backline that shipped four goals against Napoli, with the reliable Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andy Robertson and Joe Gomez in worrying form.

Klopp questioned his players’ “attitudes” on the opening day of the season and may use this unexpected time off to help spark a revival.

With Potter's departure coming late in the week, it might come as a relief that Brighton have extra time to find a replacement.

An interim management team that included experienced midfielder Adam Lallana were set to take charge for the trip to Bournemouth, but after a remarkable start that has seen them move up to fourth in the Premier League, it would be a frustration to be undercooked for a game that they would hope to take three points from.

Next weekend's game against Crystal Palace has already been postponed because of a rail strike, meaning that the Seagulls have until after the international break to make an appointment before their next game.

A foray into the transfer market represents an exciting time for a club and its supporters as new blood is added to help achieve the team's goals.

But not all purchases work out, with players failing to settle in their new homes, struggling on the field or not justifying the money spent on their services.

  Bebe | Vitoria to Manchester United | £7.4m

  "On this occasion I didn’t watch him," Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admitted after signing Bebe. "It is the first time I have done it. Normally I see plenty of video footage but our scouting department is very good and sometimes you have to go on instinct."

  In this case, the instinct was definitely wrong as United decided to sign Bebe from Portuguese club Vitoria in 2010 with rumours that Real Madrid and other European clubs were interested.

  The attacker had grown up in a homeless shelter after being abandoned by his parents and it was a nice story to see him end up at the Theatre of Dreams.

  Bebe made seven appearances in his first season at Old Trafford, scoring in the League Cup and Champions League, but it was clear he still needed plenty of development.

  He had loan spells at Besiktas, Rio Ave and Pacos de Ferreira over the next three seasons, but the Red Devils decided to cut their losses and sold the forward to Benfica in 2014, with the player becoming something of a punchline since his departure.

  The now-29-year-old is currently plying his trade in the Spanish Segunda Division for Rayo Vallecano but has also played in La Liga for the Madrid club and Eibar.

  Danny Drinkwater | Leicester City to Chelsea | £35m

  After forming an incredible midfield partnership with N'Golo Kante to help drive Leicester City to the 2015-16 Premier League title, Drinkwater decided it was time to move to a bigger club and joined Chelsea on a five-year deal under Antonio Conte.

  But the England international struggled to settle at Stamford Bridge and only made 12 appearances in his first season as he quickly found himself low down in the midfield pecking order behind Kante, Cesc Fabregas and Tiemoue Bakayoko.

  The appointment of Maurizio Sarri in 2018-19 failed to change Drinkwater's fortunes at the Blues and his substitute appearance in the Community Shield was his only game time of the season.

  The 29-year-old is currently on loan at Burnley but has only made one league start as he battles to establish himself as a starting midfielder again.

• Getty Images
  

  Roberto Soldado | Valencia to Tottenham | £26m

  Tottenham thought they had secured a coup when they signed Spanish forward Roberto Soldado from Valencia in a club record deal, surpassing the €19.9m paid for Paulinho earlier in the window.

  The centre-forward had been a prolific scorer in La Liga, scoring an incredible 24 league goals for Los Che the season before he moved to England.

  Soldado had also broken back into the Spain team and scored against Uruguay in the 2013 Confederations Cup just prior to committing his future to Tottenham.

  But the striker never found his feet in the Premier League and only managed seven top-flight goals across two seasons in north London before he was allowed to return to La Liga with Villarreal in an €11.7m deal.

  Wilfried Bony | Swansea City to Manchester City | £28m

  When Manchester City signed Bony from Swansea City in January 2015, he was the Premier League's top scorer in the previous calendar year with 20 goals.

  The €29.3m fee paid was, at the time, the most amount of money ever paid for an African footballer and he joined up with City's squad in February after winning the African Nations Cup with Ivory Coast.

  Bony became the understudy to the prolific Sergio Aguero and struggled to get into any rhythm while not consistently starting matches.

  After scoring six league goals in 36 appearances for City across two campaigns, the striker was loaned to Stoke City. A return to Swansea followed and he dropped into the Championship with his the Welsh side once they were relegated.

  Bony is currently without a team after a stint in Qatar last season.
