Broadcasting income rose nearly 20% as chief executive Omar Berrada said the club’s commercial strength supported its latest results.

  • 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.

  • "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.
