REVEALED: United owe over £100m unpaid transfer fees and are still paying for Lukaku and Pogba

Premier League

Manchester United still owe more than £100million in transfer fees, but the club are only operating by the same rules as the rest of the big clubs. And United insist the transfer debt will have no impact on their January window business activity. Financial figures released by the club showed they owed a stunning £258m on previous signings at the end of June.

It means that the full £89m fee for Paul Pogba’s return to United from Juventus was not paid up front but will be split over the five years of his initial contract at the club. United have spent a total £...
