Manchester United post seventh straight annual loss despite record revenue
–
Neutral summary
Manchester United have reported a financial loss for a seventh consecutive year despite record revenue. Net losses increased from £33m to £43m for the year ending June 2026, even though club revenue rose slightly to a new record of £677.6–678m, as reported by RBC and City AM. The Guardian links the losses to player spending and the sacking of manager Ruben Amorim in January after 14 months in charge. The club's total debt remains above £1bn ($1.3bn), according to Al Jazeera. Losses have continued to grow despite drastic cost-cutting by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, notes City AM. According to Kicker, amid the sporting crisis the club has also begun selling pieces of turf from its stadium.
