Manchester United Posts Record £677.6M Revenue Despite £43M Loss

Broadcasting income rose almost 20% as the club still posted a £43 million net loss from coaching exit costs and higher finance charges.

  • On Wednesday, Manchester United forecast higher fiscal 2027 revenue between £740 million and £760 million , buoyed by qualifying for the Champions League this season.
  • The club posted record revenues of £677.6 million for fiscal 2025/26 despite lacking European football, yet reported an overall pre-tax loss of almost £47 million while cutting the wage bill by 3.6 per cent.
  • British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, the club's minority owner, has cut jobs and raised ticket prices to reduce debt and revive profitability amid the financial pressures.
  • The club disclosed an £8.5 million compensation payout to Ruben Amorim following his January dismissal, reduced from an initial £16.7 million exposure after the Portuguese manager became head coach at Milan.
  • "We will continue to take a disciplined approach to ensure our finances remain sustainable," CEO Omar Berrada said, as the club seeks to replicate success under Alex Ferguson.
