Manchester United though out of the Champions
League and probably out of the Premier League
title race, are set to become the first British club
to earn more than £500 million in one year.
Manchester United’s second-quarter revenues rose
by 26.6% from last year to a record £133.8 million,
with commercial revenues up by 42.5% to £66.1
million, thanks to new sponsorship deals, including
their much-lauded kit record deal with
Adidas. Broadcast revenue also rose by 31.3% to
£37.3 million, while sponsorship revenue rose by
£1.6 million, but matchday income was down by
1.6%.
Ed Woodward, United’s Executive Vice-Chairman,
said: “Our strong commitment to investing in our
squad, youth academy and the broader club are
ultimately underpinned by our financial strength
and the hard work and dedication of everyone at
the Club. Our solid results off the pitch help
contribute to what remains our number one priority
– success on the pitch.”
United’s hope of qualification for next season’s
Champions League looks uncertain after an
inconsistent season under Louis van Gaal, but for
those interested in just the business side of
things, Manchester United are in heaven.
