Essien, Muntari among Ghanaian quartet Mourinho splashed cash on

Michael Essien and Sulley Muntari are among four Ghanaian players Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has spent huge sums of monies on in his career as a coach.

The other two, Christian Atsu and BababRahman are still players of Chelsea with Baba on loan at Shalke 04 and Atsu likely to join another German club on loan.

Mourinho bought Michael Essien from Olympique Lyon for £24.4m in 2004 with Sulley Muntari costing Inter Milan £12.7m during his reign in 2009.

Atsu and Baba cost Chelsea £3.5m and £21.7m respectively under Jose Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho has never been afraid to splash out in the transfer market - and his £100million move for Paul Pogba takes his career spending over the £850m mark.

The Manchester United manager has spent an incredible £856.8m on players since arriving at cash-rich Chelsea 11 years ago.

Pogba is, of course, Mourinho's most-expensive buy yet and this summer's transfer window represents his biggest-ever period of spending.
