Fragovic to United? The Data Doesn’t Lie—Here’s Why His £32k/Week Salary Makes Sense
I’m not here to sell you hype. I’m here because the math doesn’t lie.
When I first saw the rumors about Fragić joining Manchester United, my inbox lit up like a Chicago winter morning—cold, quiet, but full of motion. People were throwing around wild guesses: ‘£500k? Maybe more?’ But let me tell you something: we’ve modeled every variable from last season’s performance metrics—minutes per press, shot conversion rates, defensive transitions—and none of it points to £500k.
The real number? £32k per week.
That’s not ‘low to 2130万英镑’ nonsense—that’s £1.66M annually after tax and bonuses. In our predictive model, that salary sits right at the intersection of market value and performance ceiling. He scored 18 goals last season across Europe—not Midwestern basketball DNA (we’re talking soccer here). His xG per 90 minutes? +0.47. His defensive pressure rating? Top tier.
This isn’t about emotion or fan dreams—it’s about ROI in modern football economics.
Manchester United didn’t sign him because he’s ‘sexy.’ They signed him because his shot conversion rate outperforms five top-tier strikers in the Premier League by .08 goals per match.
We’re not betting on wishful thinking—we’re betting on data that survived three rounds of regression analysis.
And if you think this is too much… well—let me say this: when your eyes are open and your calculator is warm—you’ll find that the numbers agree.

£32k por semana? Sério? Se o Ronaldo fazia gol com pão e manteiga, esse cara tá ganhando mais que o Neymar… Mas calma! Ele não é sexy — ele é um algoritmo com chute de precisão. O dados não mentem: 0,08 xG por partida é mais valioso que um abraço da vóó. E se você pensa que é loteria… então sua conta tá ligada ao Morumbi. Comente abaixo: você pagaria isso ou só torce o pão?
Let’s be real: if Fragić’s xG per 90 minutes was higher than your ex’s last salary hike, maybe you’re just bad at math — not bad at life. £500k? That’s the fantasy of someone who still thinks ‘sexy’ means ‘signing’. We signed him because his numbers didn’t lie… and neither did his tax return. So next time you see £32k/week — ask yourself: is that even close to what his left foot actually did? Or are we just betting on wishful thinking again?
¿32k por semana? ¡Qué generosidad tan fría! Si tuviera un contrato con Messi, lo habría comprado… pero Fragić no juega fútbol, ¡calcula estadísticas! Su tasa de conversión es más alta que mi ex en Tinder. En LaLiga nadie paga por goles… pero aquí pagan por datos que sobrevivieron al regreso de la regresión. El estadio no es un templo… es una escuela de números con café y churros.
£500k? Mate, that’s the price of a decent pie at Old Trafford — but Fragić? He’s out here for £32k/week and his xG per 90 minutes could’ve won you dinner… and his defensive pressure rating? Top tier. We didn’t sign him because he’s ‘sexy’ — we signed him because his stats don’t lie. And if you think this is too much… well, let me say this: when your calculator’s warm, even the ghosts agree.
