Value of our players/squad in an open market?

[Fortitude]

Thinking about Mainoo's predicament, where he needs midfielders around him on or even above his level, the thought of just how much such players would cost crossed my mind. Following on from that, the thought of how much Kobbie himself would be valued at by the club loomed large.

Our standing has plummeted since the last time one of these threads was done (that I can remember), so I wondered what our entire squad would be valued at by our own fans in the middle of this catastrophic season. If we opened up the squad to open bidding, how much do you think each player is currently worth?

Is the OP question about what the players are worth to United? Or what they are worth to potential buyers? Because those two figures are wildly different.

Mainoo and Garnacho have both been listed as £100m players. That may very well be what it would take to tempt United to sell academy players with high potential. But no rival club with £200m burning a whole in their pocket has that pair at the top of their list of players to spend it on.

Players can be "overvalued" by the current clubs for multiple reasons. They may be the club's talisman (Kane at Spurs) or part of a potentially successful season (Caicedo at Brighton / Rice at West Ham / Luiz at Villa) or ensuring a team's safety (Zaha at Palace / Toney at Brentford).

ten Hag has already spent 500 million on this squad... Might not be the best candidate to spend a billion dollars after how badly he mangled the first half billion.

Can't argue with any of this. I suppose the other question is how much would we sell them for? would we accept a £35m offer for Shaw, probably not. But I still think the valuation is accurate

[Jezpeza]

Our squads basically worthless due to the fact the wages we have handed out and the losses represented by selling players we paid 2or3 times over the odds for. You’d never get Sancho, Martial or Anthony to move to a smallish french or german team where they belong now and even if we were prepared to sell them cheap they’ll refuse to leave because no one will get near the wages. Same will soon apply to Mount and Onana

 

[jadaba]

Mainoo will probably turn out great but valuing a player with 6 league starts at 100 million is somewhat a stretch.

Mainoo is a talent but I do not see any club offering north of 50m for him.

Otherwise, mostly agree.

Mainoo is a talent but I do not see any club offering north of 50m for him.

Otherwise, mostly agree.

They 100% would. Brazilian nobodies go to Madrid for higher fees and Amad cost us £40m I believe when the pound was worth more than it is now.

Mainoo is a 70m player already I imagine. Maybe more considering the prices we get quoted for Portuguese youngsters.

Take away Rashford, Mainoo and Garnacho and our squad is horrendous value wise. We have so little worth for the cash we paid out.

Those 3 I quoted came from the academy it’s that embarrassing value wise the rest of the squad

United are like all the other teams now due to the Glazers been poor at marketing the club this decade. We have to play like everyone else on hard mode now.

We used to be light years ahead revenue wise so it’s tough to see us buying the best of the best even if they would come (which they won’t) currently.

If the super league becomes a thing Real Madrid will pull way clear of us for revenue that’s for sure even if we are in it. It’s built for them to dominate world football and I believe we will be near the bottom most years in reality of that.

[hobbers]

Doing the math I think ETH's signings have depreciated as a collective from £400m to about £160m.

 

[Fortitude]

Is the OP question about what the players are worth to United? Or what they are worth to potential buyers? Because those two figures are wildly different.

Mainoo and Garnacho have both been listed as £100m players. That may very well be what it would take to tempt United to sell academy players with high potential. But no rival club with £200m burning a whole in their pocket has that pair at the top of their list of players to spend it on.

What they’re worth in an open market with United open to selling. Basically what ball park figure bidding would start and end at.



——-

Very surprised people think Rashford would go for less than Garnacho. I suppose with the wage burden factored in, it’s hard to determine who our prized assets actually are.

 

[WeePat]

The mood must be very low on Rashford if the majority are projecting him to be worth below £50m. If United made him available on the market today, I think you could get offers of £70m and above.

 

[Bastian]

Rashford is way too low. I think we can easily fetch 60-80m for him, despite him having a bad season.

Mainoo is a talent but I do not see any club offering north of 50m for him.

Otherwise, mostly agree.

Aye, I'm sure he could fetch more, clouded by both his performances this season and the huge contract he's on. But he's a marketable player, so there's that. Mainoo though, I don't think the club would accept anything close to 50m for him, but what his true value is is hard to quantify. If he's as good as he's so far shown, given his age, he'll be an outstanding player. And as such, in my book, the most expensive in the squad alongside Garnacho (whom funnily enough people on here were doubting could be a starter at the start of this season).

 

[JB7]

Baffles me that people think Hannibal is worth £15m+ and Pellestri £20m+. Think we'd do incredibly well to get £10m a piece for them personally, probably half that in Hannibal's case.

Got ya. In that case, I’d say @hobbers list is pretty much what I would estimate. I think you might get slightly less for Maguire and slightly more for Mount (mostly due to age) but those figures look plausible to me.

 

[Daydreamer]

The mood must be very low on Rashford if the majority are projecting him to be worth below £50m. If United made him available on the market today, I think you could get offers of £70m and above.

Rashford has gigantic wages and somewhat streaky output. He’s 26 and has had two outstanding seasons since breaking through. When he’s good, he’s very good. But when he’s bad, he’s dire. He represent a substantial risk at >£70m.

Double whatever the highest figures people have for all players and thats probably what United would spend to purchase them on the market.

 

[bosnian_red]

Is this what it would take for us to be ok to accept, what teams would bid, or just what we think fair value for them is even if we wouldn't necessarily get it (and with the assumption that they were on fair wages and teams didn't drop prices because of high wages)?

I'll go with the 3rd option. So taking away the problem we have which is wage related and just probably what I would deem a fair price, taking away contract situations, etc.

1. Altay Bayindir (G) - 5mil
22. Tom Heaton (G) - 0mil
24. Andre Onana (G) - 45mil (we paid a fair price)

2. Victor Lindelof (CD) - 20mil
5. Harry Maguire (CD) - 20mil
6. Lisandro Martinez (CD) - 50mil
12. Tyrell Malacia (LB) - 20mil
19. Raphael Varane (CD) - 15mil
20. Diogo Dalot (RB; FB) - 40mil
23. Luke Shaw (LB; CD) - 50mil
29. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (RB) - 35mil
35. Jonny Evans (D) - 0mil
53. Willy Kambwala (D) - 20mil

7. Mason Mount (AM; CM) - 30mil
8. Bruno Fernandes (AM; CM; RM; SS) - 80mil
14. Christian Eriksen (CM; AM) - 15mil
46. Hannibal Mejbri (CM) - 15mil
18. Casemiro (DM; CM) - 40mil
28. Facundo Pellistri (RM) - 15mil
37. Kobbie Mainoo (CM; DM) - 80mil
39. Scott McTominay (AM; CM) - 25mil
44. Daniel Gore (AM; CM; RM; LM) - 5mil (relatively unknown and hasn't had first team impact)

17. Alejandro Garnacho (LWF; RWF) - 80mil
21. Antony (RWF) - 25mil
10. Marcus Rashford (LWF; CF; RWF) - 60mil
9. Anthony Martial (CF) -10mil
11. Rasmus Hojlund (CF; RWF) - 60mil
16. Amad Diallo (RWF) - 25mil (needs to do something at first team level first before this shoots up)
25. Jadon Sancho (RWF; LWF; AM; SS) - 40mil

Caveat with a lot of this is that the situations that a lot of players find themselves in means we won't get a lot of these prices. Someone like Rashford last season was 100mil, now has plummeted because another garbage season. Garnacho and Mainoo are in the realm of u touchable/stupid fees needed which I'm just writing at 80mil. Injury situations impacts some of them, which is also why Bruno is still an 80mil player IMO as he's always fit so will likely last longer. Shaw is a weird one to price as when fit and in a functional team, he'd be up there with any left back around IMO. But the injuries and now and then having shit seasons and constantly being part of a dysfunctional team and age at this point means I have to limit at 50mil.

Guys about to retire are 0, youngsters who haven't really played at first team level can't get any fair value so get the Zidane Iqbal treatment.

 

[bosnian_red]

Rashford is way too low. I think we can easily fetch 60-80m for him, despite him having a bad season.

Mainoo is a talent but I do not see any club offering north of 50m for him.

Otherwise, mostly agree.

Maunoo id say 80m because his hype right now is growing like crazy and if Madrid spent 100m on Tchouameni based on 1 season, Mainoo isn't quite there but I think he's shown he's an elite youngster and he'd get above 60m if it was actually a bidding war.

We tend to overrate our players, especially the youngsters. Lavia could be a good baseline, he was a bit more experienced and better than Mainoo, and Chelsea bought him for 58M.

I do not see anyone offering 80m for Mainoo. 80m would make him the fourth most expensive central midfielder of all time, after Caicedo, Enzo and Pogba. They were quite ahead of him when they made the move.

Of course, we might not be willing to sell him for anything below, or even above. But I do not think he has shown anything to be an 80m player. He is very talented and one day can be such a player, but right now, he is a 30-40m player IMO.

Rashford has gigantic wages and somewhat streaky output. He’s 26 and has had two outstanding seasons since breaking through. When he’s good, he’s very good. But when he’s bad, he’s dire. He represent a substantial risk at >£70m.

That doesn't mean he couldn't fetch that kind of fee on the market. We've seen Havertz go for £65m despite being 24, on gigantic wages and having zero outstanding seasons since making the move to England. Yeah, I agree that he represents a substantial risk at that price level but I think if he was available, United could get big offers for him.

Nah I wouldn't say Lavia looked anywhere near as developed as Maunoo to be honest. Lavia has big potential but was more raw, nowhere near as good defensively and not as composed. Also he played for Southampton and got relegated, which is not going to get you much hype compared to Mainoo. And his fee was buying from a relegated side and not an already big side.

Given the age and what he's shown, I'd say he would have a huge value. We know city have tried for years to take him from us and still sniff around. Also the "most expensive of all time" lists are a bit pointless, that's always going to change based on era. Tchouameni and Rice you also missed. I wouldn't have Mainoo at the same price as Tchouameni when he went to Madrid, but a solid 20-30mil less is fair. Somewhere between Lavia (who did well for a relegated side) and Tchouameni is fair IMO (mainly just based on expecting him to keep the same level until the end of the season and his global reputation to be very different then). But he was always seen as an elite talent and has backed it up. Young players who show elite potential right from the off at a big club have their prices explode more than anything.

That’s the type of substantial risk I think most smart clubs manage to avoid. In fact, it’s the type of risk we ourselves at Arsenal have avoided under Edu / Arteta. I’m really not sure why we spent what we did on Havertz (though I actually think he’s been alright for us) but Chelsea found Arsenal and United in a very obliging mood when it came to him and Mount.

Now the PL seems to actually be enforcing its FFP and P&S rules, I think we’re unlikely to see such spending on players in their mid-twenties coming off the back of a poor season. Havertz / Mount fit into that category and Rashford will too if his form continues.

You're out of your mind if you think Mainoo is a 40m player. Offer him to any club in the world for that and they'd bite our hand off. Caicedo went for 120m after 18 months of good performances, and Mainoo is 5 years younger, English, and a level above technically. He's basically priceless on the open market for the position he plays and his age.

Yeah I think 70m is the right ballpark. He still holds a good bit of name value and is a decent age as well. If this was last summer he's closer to 100m but with how poor he's been this year 70m seems right.

 

[Valencia Shin Crosses]

Mainoo will probably turn out great but valuing a player with 6 league starts at 100 million is somewhat a stretch.

Put him at any other huge club in the world and that's what they'd value him at.

 

[Revan]

Put him at any other huge club in the world and that's what they'd value him at.

Which club has ever offered 100m pounds for an 18 years old player?

Mainoo is good and priceless but we do not really know how good he will really become. No one will go close to 100m or so for a central midfielder with 5-10 senior matches.

 

[Revan]

But he was always seen as an elite talent and has backed it up. Young players who show elite potential right from the off at a big club have their prices explode more than anything.

Yes, I forgot those two. Still would make him in top 10, which is unrealistic for someone with 7 league appearances for a mid table team. I understand that he has high potential, but many players with high potential do not become great, and thus, clubs usually do not offer crazy money for them.

Tchouameni was already one of the best midfielders in the world when he went for that price, and 21 years old. He also has over 100 league appearances and around 150 total appearances by that time. All these players who went for crazy money were far more established than Mainoo. Heck, even Lavia was a year older and had 36 appearances. So why should someone offer more for Mainoo?

We are hardly a club that sells well. A central midfielder with 5 or so starts and 12 total appearances won’t become our (joined) most expensive sell of all time, just cause we are having a shit season and thus have to overrate him and Garnacho like they are already top players.

No team has ever offered anywhere near that much for a player that can count his starts on his hands.

 

[Gupz]

It's fun to talk about the value of the players, but when was the last time United made huge profit by selling a player? It is just shocking to see how much was spent compared to the return of investments of the last decade.

Precisely, and for good reasons.
