Manchester United wages reduced by £5m after Cristiano Ronaldo departure
31.03.2023 - 15:57 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United's wage bill dropped by £5m between October and December 2022 following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the most recent financial statement which was released on Thursday, figures show that staff wages at United were at £82.3m in October 2022 when Ronaldo was still at the club. The figure has dropped to £77.3m in the latest figures.

"For Manchester United, it was important to move on as quick as possible from that and really refocus on the group of players who were there and wanted to be there. And I think that’s where Ten Hag has done a really good job in refocusing the players and getting them in a position where they are obviously
