"Arsenal's wage bill for 2024/25 was £33.8million more than Manchester United's, it has been revealed. The Gunners released their annual report for the year on Wednesday afternoon, in which it was confirmed that player wages had increased to £346.8m last season. That's also a marked increase from a wage bill of some £327.8m the season before."
"Ruben Amorim failed to properly utilise the squad he inherited from Erik ten Hag in November 2024, persistent in his 3-4-2-1 formation and playing a number of players out of position - Amad operating as a wingback, for example, rather than in a fully attacking role which had historically proven far more fruitful."
"Arsenal posted an overall loss of £1.4m for 2024/25 on Wednesday afternoon, despite seeing a record revenue of £691m. Despite this, they saw a major improvement on the £17.1m loss recorded for the year on May 31, 2024."
Arsenal's annual report revealed a wage bill of £346.8m for 2024/25, representing a £19m increase from the previous season's £327.8m. This exceeded Manchester United's £313m wage bill by £33.8m, despite United's significantly lower league finish of 15th compared to Arsenal's second place. Manchester City's wage bill was £61.6m higher at £408.4m. Arsenal posted a £1.4m loss for 2024/25 despite record revenue of £691m, a substantial improvement from the £17.1m loss in the previous year. Manager Ruben Amorim's tactical decisions and squad utilization issues contributed to United's poor performance, while Mikel Arteta's strategic squad building and management proved more effective for Arsenal.
