Manchester United have taken their summer spending past £130million

‌

The Reds added Bryan Mbeumo to their ranks, joining Matheus Cunha as the big money arrivals while Diego Leon has also arrived this summer. The trio have set United back £130.8m.

‌

That has elevated United above neighbours Manchester City - who have made four senior signings - in the table of big summer signings. The Blues have spent £126m so far.

‌

The pair are fourth and fifth of football's biggest spenders with Liverpool leading the way having completed a £69m deal for Hugo Ekitike with their current tally at £269m. That puts the champions ahead of Chelsea, who have splashed out £211m on new arrivals, while Spanish giants Real Madrid have a summer outlay of £145.35m.

Arsenal, who are hoping to add Viktor Gyokeres to their ranks in the coming days, have spent the sixth most (£137m) ahead of North London rivals Tottenham (£122m). Premier League new boys Sunderland, Spanish side Atletico Madrid, and Saudi Arabia club Al-Qadsiah round out the top 10.

The so-called top six in the Premier League have spent around £1billion since the start of the transfer window.

That total rises to £1.63bn when the rest of the top flight is taken into account with newly-promoted trio Sunderland, Burnley and Leeds United among the league's top 10 biggest spenders.

Of the 10 most expensive transfers this summer, eight are Premier League purchases with the outliers being Mateo Retegui's £56.3m switch from Atalanta to Al Qadsiah and Dean Huijsen's £50m switch to Real Madrid from Bournemouth.

The transfer window remains open until September 1, when it shuts at the earlier time of 7pm.
