Man United players to receive £30m+ salary hikes with Europa League win - reports
Manchester United players are on the cusp of significant salary increases, potentially exceeding £30 million, if they emerge victorious in the Europa League final against Tottenham.
The win would secure a spot in the Champions League for the 2025-26 season, triggering participation clauses in the players' contracts and resulting in a substantial pay rise.
The potential 25% pay increase would be a welcome boost for the players, reflecting the financial benefits of competing at the highest level of European football.
United's wage bill is estimated to increase to almost £360 million, up from around £325 million this season, demonstrating the significant financial implications of Champions League participation.
While the player bonus pool for winning the Europa League is relatively modest at around £1 million, the long-term financial benefits of securing a Champions League spot are substantial.
In contrast, the potential rewards for winning the Champions League are much greater, with players set to share a bonus pool of around £10 million.
The financial stakes of the Europa League final are high for both Manchester United and Tottenham, with the outcome having a lasting impact on the clubs' finances and future success.
For Manchester United, a win would not only bring a coveted trophy but also a significant boost to their revenue and competitiveness in the coming season.
