Manchester United could become the first club to break the £300million barrier for wages when they release their accounts for the 2017-18 season, according to The Sun.
The Old Trafford outfit broke new ground last year when they and rivals Manchester City became the first Premier League clubs to spend £250m on wages. But United's investment has only gathered speed in the ensuing 12 months.
They made Alexis Sanchez the Premier League's best-paid player in January by handing him a contract worth £500,000 per week while Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic were given lucrative deals when joining from Everton and Chelsea.
Alexis Sanchez's £500,000-a-week wages will push Manchester United's wage bill upwards
Wayne Rooney's departure to Everton last summer helped to save around £300,000 per week, but much of that was then taken up by the pay increases awarded to every senior player following their return to the Champions League.
A standard clause in all contracts sees players take a pay-cut if they fail to qualify for Europe's premier competition. After gaining entry via the Europa League in 2017, the squad were automatically given a boost, which will add up to millions per year.
Those factors will serve to push Manchester United's annual wage bill to within touching distance of the £300m mark and should see them overtake rivals City to become the biggest paymasters in the division.
The new accounts will also contain the impact of Romelu Lukaku's £75m arrival from Everton
Nemanja Matic was signed from Chelsea last summer and handed a lucrative contract as well
According to the latest accounts to June 30, 2017, City's annual wage bill sits at £264m with United close behind on £263m. Pep Guardiola's side are likely to see a significant increase as well with new figures accounting for last summer's arrivals: Kyle Walker, Ederson, Danilo, Benjamin Mendy, Bernardo Silva and January signing Aymeric Laportre.
Despite the increase in the wage bill, Manchester United should remain at a healthy 50 per cent wages-to-turnover ratio with their total revenue likely to go close to the £600m mark. They hit £581.2m for 2016-17, but this year's accounts will be boosted by their return to the Champions League.
That should be enough to keep them ahead of Real Madrid and Barcelona as the world's richest club. Real Madrid were close behind with an annual turnover of £580m and will once again be competitive after three successive Champions League wins.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
