Despite facing their worst Premier League season, Manchester United announces record commercial revenues.
Manchester United have announced their financial results for the year ending June 30, 2025, revealing a significant improvement despite a challenging season on the pitch. The Red Devils achieved a record-breaking revenue of £666.5 million, the highest in the club's 147-year history.
The club's commercial revenue reached an impressive £333.3 million, thanks to the start of a five-year deal with new shirt sponsors Snapdragon. This partnership, along with other cost-cutting measures, has helped United to reduce operating and employee expenses by 4.5 and 14.1 per cent, respectively.
The move followed Sir Jim Ratcliffe's purchase of a minority stake from the Glazer family in February 2024. The club's EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation) is the highest of any European club since the Covid-19 pandemic.
Despite not competing in the Champions League last term, United achieved these record revenues. The reduction in player wages, in part due to United playing in the Europa League instead of the Champions League, has played a significant role in these cost-saving measures.
United's matchday revenue also climbed to £160.3 million, thanks in part to recording their highest-ever ticket and membership sales. The club's overall loss is down from £113.2 million the previous year, representing a decrease of 70.8 per cent.
However, further cost-cutting could still be required with the lack of European football this season expected to further stretch the club's finances. United officials are making continued efforts to manage costs without impacting on their on-field performances. The improvement of results from the first-team is integral to the long-term financial success of the club.
Despite suffering their worst-ever Premier League season, ending in 15th and missing out on European football for the first time in 11 years, the club's financial results offer a glimmer of hope. The record revenues are a boost for Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who has expressed his commitment to the club's success.
It is worth noting that hundreds of members of staff have been made redundant by United since Ineos took over football operations at Old Trafford. The name of the CEO (Vorstandsvorsitzender) of Manchester United, as highlighted by the financial results for the year ending June 30, 2025, is not directly mentioned in the search results. However, Collette Roche is identified as the Chief Operating Officer of Manchester United as of 2025, but there is no indication she is the CEO or chairman related to the financial results for that period.
In conclusion, Manchester United's financial results for the year ending June 30, 2025, demonstrate the club's resilience in the face of adversity. The record revenues, despite a challenging season on the pitch, offer a positive outlook for the future. The club's continued efforts to manage costs while maintaining on-field performance will be crucial in ensuring long-term success.
