Currently fifth in the Premier League, United paid a whopping, net total of £10m to agents this season. One wonders if Jorge Mendes received much of a fee for the botched David de Gea to Real Madrid transfer?
With Jose Mourinho (a Mendes client) heavily linked to the United job, that figure may only rise further.
In all, the Red Devils' outlay is over £3m more than their nearest rival.

Chelsea (£2.2m) are down in seventh but that is most likely due to the fact that they finished last year as champions and then had a settled squad. One suspects they will be in touch with many more agents in the coming weeks and months.
Bottom of the table are Everton, on £471,400 while Swansea City (£491,000) are not far away.
It is interesting to note that last season's promoted clubs, Bournemouth, Norwich and Watford, paid out a combined £4.3m to agents. Welcome to the big leagues.Explore more on these topics:
