It is estimated that Manchester United will spend approximately £100 million on transfers in 2025. The club’s compliance with financial rules and the need to strike a balance between player sales and expenses have an impact on this number.
Even though the base budget is roughly £100 million, reports indicate that player sales could result in a significant increase in this sum. For example, the budget might increase to almost £400 million if valuable players like Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood were sold.
Financial plans are also anticipated to be impacted by the club’s new ownership under Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS. Ratcliffe has voiced concerns about “wasteful recruitment” in the past.
Manchester United’s financial planning may be further impacted by the Premier League’s consideration of imposing a spending cap. Top clubs’ spending would be limited to five times the TV and prize money earned by the bottom club under the proposed “anchoring” scheme.

According to reports, Manchester United and other elite teams are against this plan because they believe it would make them less competitive with rivals in Europe.
Although Manchester United’s base transfer budget for 2025 is projected to be £100 million, player sales and the changing football financial landscape could result in a much larger actual spending capacity.
