Manchester United’s summer 2024 transfer window will go down as a big success, from an incoming and outgoing point of view.
Ineos will be very pleased with their first summer transfer window in charge at Manchester United.
From a player signings perspective, Joshua Zirkzee, Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui, Manuel Ugarte plus a low-cost move for Sekou Kone, amounts to great business.
For the first summer since 2020/21, United have not broken the £60 million mark for a single player, and the additions this window are much better than that shambolic summer, with Donny van de Beek the standout addition.
United have been able to address multiple positions by spending smartly, using fund accrued by player sales which make this one of the club’s most profitable windows ever.
We have stocked up all of the incoming and outgoing deals to work out Manchester United’s net spend for 2024/25.

Manchester United could earn a further £23 million in add-on fees. Further to this, multiple deals contain valuable sell-on clauses, which could yield substantial income in future years.
Meanwhile there are substantial salary savings to take into account too, with Raphael Varane and Anthony Martial released.
Manchester United net spend summer 2024
Taking into account purely the base level fees, which Manchester United have paid and received this summer, the net spend is £101.8 million.
Impressively, if all add-on fees are paid and received, the net spend would remain the same, at £101.8 million.
To spend just over £100 million net, and land up with five high quality new signings is great business from the club, and demonstrates real business nous from the new leadership team.
Last summer United’s net spend was £110 million – with only three permanent first team signings made.
