TA: Manchester United has spent a total of 510 million pounds on transfers since La Jue took over, and its current net transfer debt is as high as 340 million pounds.

October 9th TA wrote that although Manchester United has carried out cost reductions in many aspects under the leadership of new owner Ratcliffe, this has not affected the team's huge investment in the transfer market.

Since Ratcliffe took office, the club's total transfer expenditure has reached 510.8 million pounds, and the net expenditure has also reached 365.3 million pounds, which has increased the team's lineup construction cost to 1.2 billion pounds.

This huge expenditure directly led to the surge in transfer debt. Currently, Manchester United's net transfer debt is as high as 344.5 million pounds, which is likely to be the highest level in world football. Among them, 182.8 million pounds need to be paid before the end of June 2026, which has brought huge short-term cash flow pressure to the club.

In sharp contrast to the huge investment in signings, Manchester United has always performed poorly in selling players.

In the past ten years, the club has only made 174.2 million pounds from selling players, ranking only 18th in England, far behind Manchester City (400 million pounds less) and Chelsea (more than 650 million pounds less).

Although player sales have improved this season, generating revenue of 75.7 million (of which 44 million is profit), Manchester United still has a clear gap compared with the eight Premier League clubs with sales exceeding 100 million this summer.
