| Manchester United counts the cost of players' wages |
The spiraling cost of player's wages is expected to feature prominently in Manchester United's interim results on Monday.
Hefty acquisitions are also expected to make their mark on the company's profits.
In July, the club announced it had signed Juan Sebastian Veron from Lazio for £28 million.
Earlier this year, the company unveiled interim pre-tax profits of £17 million, up from £12 million.
Last month, Manchester United's 13-year, £303 million strategic alliance with Nike came into force.
The alliance with Nike will give Manchester United exclusive sponsorship, licensing and merchandising rights.
The group's £8.6 million development of further facilities at its Carrington training complex is also on course to be completed by March 2002.
Analysts are also hoping for an update on MUTV, which is expected to show narrowing losses.
