Manchester United Set New Premier League Record
There`s no denying that the game has changed immensely since I was a spotty faced teenager.
I can recall queuing up to gain admission to the terraces on the day of the game and I can remember being amazed when it was announced that Nottingham Forest had paid Birmingham City a £1 million for Trevor Francis.
These days tickets have to be bought weeks in advance and transfer fees for the best players in the world have gone through the roof, culminating in the recent world record for a transfer fee of €222 million being set for the sale of Neymar Jnr from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain.
Yesterday, another sign of just how much things have changed was illustrated by the fact that Manchester United set a record for fielding the most expensively assembled team in Premier League history.
Yesterday the total cost of the line-up selected by Jose Mourinho eclipsed the £400 million mark, which begs me to answer the question just where it all end!
