The first transfer for which Manchester United ( then Newton Heath ) had to pay a fee was the transfer of Gilbert Godsmark from Ashford in January 1900. Manchester United paid Ashford a fee of £ 40 for Godsmark. The club 's first £ 1,000 transfer came in 1910, when they signed Leslie Hofton from Glossop. When the club signed Tommy Taylor from Barnsley in 1953, the fee was intended to be £ 30,000. However, Matt Busby did not want to burden the young player with the `` £ 30,000 man '' tag, and Barnsley agreed for the fee to be reduced by £ 1 to £ 29,999. Busby then took the extra pound from his wallet and gave it to the lady who had been serving the teas. Manchester United made their first £ 100,000 signing in August 1962 with the transfer of Denis Law from Torino for £ 110,000, a new British record. The club broke the British transfer record again in 1981 with the £ 1.5 million signing of Bryan Robson from West Bromwich Albion. When Andy Cole signed for United in January 1995, the club paid £ 7 million, almost double their previous record of £ 3.75 million, which they paid for Roy Keane 18 months earlier. In the summer of 2001, the club broke their transfer record twice in the space of a month, first paying PSV £ 19 million for Ruud van Nistelrooy, and then £ 28.1 million to Lazio for Juan Sebastián Verón.

The club 's first British record sale came in March 1949, when Derby County paid £ 24,500 for Johnny Morris. However, 35 years passed before Manchester United next broke the record for the biggest sale by a British club ; the sale of Ray Wilkins to Milan for £ 1.5 million in June 1984 was also the club 's first million - pound sale. Another British record followed two years later with the sale of Mark Hughes to Barcelona for £ 2.5 million. The club 's record sale increased fivefold in the space of two transfers over the next 15 years ; first with the £ 7 million sale of Paul Ince to Internazionale in 1995, and then the 2001 transfer of Jaap Stam to Lazio for £ 15.25 million.
