Sporting issues have led to financial troubles.
This season, Manchester United is missing out on European competitions for the first time since 2015. This means fewer matches and lower matchday revenue, which will significantly impact the club’s finances.
Details: As reported by Football Insider, the team under Sir Jim Ratcliffe will lose at least £30 million because of their absence from European tournaments. United had a chance to qualify for the Champions League, which would have assured them at least four home games, each generating about £5 million at Old Trafford.
Additionally, the club will face a £10 million loss related to its Adidas deal, due to not qualifying for the Champions League. Management hoped to regain some lost income through a strong run in domestic cups, but the team was knocked out of the League Cup on August 27, losing to Grimsby Town on penalties.
Reminder: Matchday revenue is a crucial part of Manchester United’s overall income. In the 2023/24 season report, the club announced a record turnover of £661.8 million, with matchday earnings totaling £137.1 million.
