Players are essential assets for clubs, both in England and worldwide. Their impact on the field and connection with supporters plays a significant role in attracting fans and generating revenue.
Players also serve as the face of clubs, shaping public perception. This is true for Manchester United, where players are increasingly prominent.
With Financial Fair Play (FFP) and Profit and Sustainability (PSB) regulations in place, clubs find it challenging to spend large sums or sign many players in one transfer window. Consequently, football economics now emphasizes maintaining balanced finances and making thoughtful spending decisions.
This shift has led clubs to prioritize longer contracts, which help sustain market value and comply with financial rules. Chelsea, for instance, has adopted lengthy contracts averaging eight to nine years for new signings.
A list detailing the current Manchester United men’s first-team squad and their contract expiry dates offers insights into the team’s structure and which players may soon need contract negotiations.
