Manchester United have wasted more money than any other team in the Premier League, research has found.
A transfer review by the Prime Time Sport consultancy released at the Soccerex global convention in Manchester found that £474.81m worth of players signed by Premier League clubs over the last three seasons were used in 50 per cent or less of the total minutes of their club's season.
At the top of the list of culprits were United, with a total of £117.61m, followed by Tottenham Hotspur £100.81m.

Manchester United signed Angel di Maria for £59million last summer and sold him to PSG after just one season

Luke Shaw has begun this season in fine form for United but played less than 50 per cent of minutes in 2014-15

Manchester United spent €161m on players in last three seasons that played less than 50 per cent of minutes

Manchester City (£53.33m), Liverpool (£50.4m), Arsenal (£34.33m) and Chelsea (£32.87m) also spent big on players who failed to deliver.
United's failure was heavily influenced by Angel Di Maria's ill-fated stint at Old Trafford.
The Argentine winger cost manager Louis van Gaal a British-record £59.7m from Real Madrid in the summer of 2014 but left after a miserable season spent on the fringes of the Dutchman's squad.
