How much Manchester United paid agents over the past two transfer windows - only two clubs spent more

Manchester United spent £33 million on agent fees between February 2024 and February 2025, the third-highest of any Premier League club during that period.

The enormous figure is still dwarfed by Chelsea, who spent £60m on agent fees in the same period, while Man City were third with £52m spent. Aston Villa were fourth on the list with £25m, as the twenty Premier League clubs paid agents £409m in total over a year.

United completed seven senior signings during the period, which covered both last summer's transfer window under Erik ten Hag and the January window under Ruben Amorim. Ten Hag was backed with roughly £200m of new signings in his final window at the club before he was sacked, while Amorim signed both Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven during his first window at the club.

Here is where United's spending ranks compared with the rest of the Premier League.

How much Premier League clubs paid agents

The Football Association has revealed how much Premier League clubs spent on agent fees between 2 February 2024 and 3 February 2025. These fees relate to new arrivals as well as registering player departures and player contract negotiations.

It has been revealed Manchester United spent the third-highest amount of any Premier League club during that period, with £33 million paid to agents. The figure is still just over half of the £60m Chelsea spent and far less than the £52m that Man City paid.

United had a net spend of £93.8 million in the 2024 summer transfer window after they signed five senior players and received money for 13 player departures. Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Manuel Ugarte and Joshua Zirkzee were all signed by Erik ten Hag before he left the club.
