Manchester United have spent a lot on transfers over the last couple of years – and that has reflected in how much the club owe in instalments for player purchases.
United’s transfer outlay exceeds over £1billion across the last six seasons, with Antony their most expensive signing across that period. In total, eight players have cost more than £50m each and United are starting to pay the price for spending without much success to come from it.
In fact, according to finance expert Kieran Maguire, United owe £413m in instalments for player transfers as viewed by their detailed accounts from the 2023/24 season. As well as this, the cost of United’s squad has gone above the £1bn mark and total borrowings has hit £714m.
It doesn’t look at all rosy on the financial front for United, who saw Sir Jim Ratcliffe purchase a 27.7 per cent stake in the club earlier this year, but they are owed a substantial bit of cash from others for player sales. They are due £94m from clubs after selling players over the years.
