"Subsequent to 30 June 2025, the registrations of certain players and football management staff were acquired or extended for a total consideration, including associated costs of £169,524,000. Payments are due within the next six years. Also, subsequent to 30 June 2025, sell-on fees and contingent consideration totalling £2,119,000 became payable in respect of previous playing registration acquisitions."
"Distributing that £169m over six years provides United enhanced flexibility under Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and bolsters their capacity to invest again this summer, when the club will also determine whether to appoint a new manager or grant Michael Carrick the position permanently."
"Manchester United unveiled their second-quarter financial figures this week, revealing an operating profit of £32.6million for the opening half of fiscal 2026. This represents a substantial shift from the £3.9m operating loss registered during the corresponding period twelve months earlier."
Manchester United confirmed that £236 million spent on summer transfers will be amortized across six years. Of this amount, £169 million represents player acquisitions completed after the June 30, 2025 accounting deadline, including Bryan Mbeumo, Diego Leon, Benjamin Sesko, and goalkeeper Senne Lammens. By distributing these costs over six years, United gains enhanced flexibility under Profitability and Sustainability Rules, allowing greater investment capacity for future transfer windows. The club simultaneously reported an operating profit of £32.6 million for the first half of fiscal 2026, a significant improvement from the £3.9 million operating loss recorded in the previous year's corresponding period.
