LAGA klub sekota (derby) Manchester di Old Trafford bakal menjadi pertandingan termahal dalam sejarah sepak bola, saat Manchester United (MU) bertemu City, kedua klub telah menggelontorkan dana Rp12 triliun untuk memborong sederet bintang bola.
Dengan bos baru di kedua klub, manajer United Jose Mourinho dan pelatih Pep Guardiola membeli sejumlah pemain bintang musim ini demi meraih predikat tim terbaik untuk mengungguli rival mereka dan meraih juara Liga Premier Inggris (EPL).
Tingginya pengeluaran klub, atas hadirnya Paul Pogba dan John Stones di klub merah dan biru di Manchester, berarti pemain berbakat ratusan bernilai juta poundsterling akan masuk lapangan yang tidak diragukan lagi bakal menjadi pertandingan termahal musim ini.
Sementara kedua manajer sibuk membenahi kekuatan tim, Pogba diperkirakan hadir sebagai pemain tengah MU bernilai Rp1,7 triliun setelah sempat hengkang dan total pengeluaran Mourinho yang total lebih Rp6 triliun, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
SATURDAY'S Manchester derby at Old Trafford is set to be the most expensive game in football history, with United and City boasting sides worth a combined total of more than an eye-watering £600million.
With new bosses on both sides of the city, United manager Jose Mourinho and City chief Pep Guardiola both splashed the cash this summer in a bid to earn bragging rights over their rivals and challenge for the Premier League crown.
The spending splurge, which has seen the likes of Paul Pogba and John Stones switch to the red and blue sides of the city respectively, means hundreds of millions of pounds worth of talent will take to the field for what is undoubtedly the biggest game of the season so far.
While both managers may yet make some late changes, Pogba's expected presence in the United midfield following his £89m switch back to England means Mourinho's side will be worth a total of £328.1m.
