Manchester United Pays Out Most In Agent Fees
Manchester United paid over 10 million pounds to agents and intermediaries earlier this season.
Manchester United spent significantly more on fees to agents and intermediaries earlier this season than any other Premier League club, the Football Association revealed.
The FA disclosed Friday how much each top-flight club paid to third parties between Oct. 1 and Feb. 1.
Despite its struggles under manager Louis van Gaal this season, United spent over 10 million pounds ($14.4M) to agents and intermediaries — close to double of any other club.
Liverpool (£6,672,713) was the second-highest spender but the Merseyside club still managed to spend just under £3.5 million less than its rival.
Manchester City was third with a total of £5,880,098, and then follows a significant gap to the rest of the Premier League pack.
Arsenal (£3,135,483) in typical fashion rounded out the top four, followed by fellow London clubs West Ham (£2,691,331), Tottenham (£2,562,853) and Chelsea (£2,214,227).
Premier League leader Leicester City paid £936,004, while Everton was the lowest spender, paying just £471,400.
