Man City and Manchester United player agent fees compared to Chelsea and Liverpool amid £400m total

Manchester City and Manchester United were among the biggest spenders on player agent fees in the past 12 months.

The pair spent a combined £94.7million with City splashing just over £60.5m and United a shade over £34m. Those figures were the second and third highest spends of all Premier League clubs.

Chelsea led the way with a £75.1m spend with Liverpool (£31.5m) the only other side to break the £25m barrier. At the other end of the scale Luton Town paid just £2m with Sheffield United, Burnley and Brentford the only other clubs to spend under £10m.

The figures, which cover the period between February 1, 2023 and February 1, 2024, were released by the Football Association.

United's figure will raise questions of how the club is spending money given they are sixth in the top flight and were knocked out of the Champions League before Christmas. City, meanwhile, remain in contention to repeat their treble of last season.
