Manchester United announce record revenue of £666.5m despite dismal on-pitch performance

Manchester United’s continued struggles on the field have had no impact on their financial fortunes, with the club announcing record revenue of £666.5million on Wednesday.

United endured a nightmare 2024-25 season as they recorded their worst-ever Premier League finish, ending the campaign in 15th place. They did reach the Europa League final, but a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham ensured they missed out on European football for 2025-26.

Ruben Amorim’s side have endured a difficult start to the new campaign, taking four points from as many Premier League games and suffering a humiliating EFL Cup exit at the hands of fourth-tier Grimsby Town. United were soundly beaten 3-0 by Manchester City in last Sunday’s derby.

Yet, in the year to 30 June 2025, United recorded commercial revenue of £333.3m and matchday revenue of £160.3m.

Their overall loss of £33m was down over 70 per cent on the previous year (£113.2m).

“To have generated record revenues during such a challenging year for the club demonstrates the resilience which is a hallmark of Manchester United,” said chief executive Omar Berrada.

“As we settle into the 2025-26 season, we are working hard to improve the club in all areas.”
