720 million pounds! Manchester United s financial report explodes the world, and business income crushes Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern

Recently, Manchester United officially released its 2025 fiscal year financial report, and a series of dazzling data made people shine. In this financial report, the club successfully set new historical records in three key revenue indicators: total revenue, commercial revenue and game day revenue, showing strong commercial operation capabilities and market influence.

The team's performance is remarkable

On the court, Manchester United's men's first team and women's first team both have commendable performances. The men's first team reached the Europa League final in a fierce competition. Although they ranked 15th in the Premier League in 2024/25, their outstanding performance in the European game still allowed fans to see the team's potential. The women's first team is also not inferior. They won the third place in the Women's Super League and successfully entered the FA Cup final, showing their style of being as good as men.

The financial data are full of highlights

Judging from the financial data, Manchester United's performance is excellent. Total revenue in the fourth quarter reached £164.1 million, and strong growth momentum pushed total revenue to hit an all-time high of £666.5 million in fiscal 2025. In terms of business revenue, it reached 88.2 million pounds in the fourth quarter, and the total business revenue in fiscal 2025 reached a record high of 333.3 million pounds. It is worth mentioning that this year happened to be the first year when Manchester United and Snapdragon reached a five-year jersey-on-breast sponsorship agreement. The cooperation between the two parties has undoubtedly injected strong impetus into the growth of commercial revenue.

The game day revenue also achieved remarkable results, with a fourth quarter of £37.2 million, and the total game day revenue in the 2025 fiscal year hit a record of £160.3 million. The adjusted profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the whole year was £182.8 million. Although there was still a loss of £18.4 million for the whole year, it has been significantly narrowed compared with the operating loss of £69.3 million in fiscal 2024, showing that the club has achieved positive results in cost control and operation management.

Tournament and Business Events are a two-pronged approach to better prepare for the new season, the men's first team successfully held the pre-season tour, including exciting matches in Sweden and the United States. These events not only enhance the team's competitive state, but also further expand Manchester United's influence on a global scale.

In terms of business cooperation, the club has made frequent moves recently. Manchester United announced a new sponsorship agreement with Coca-Cola, Sokin and Parimatch, while renewing its partnership with STATSports, Canon and Sportsbreaks. These cooperation not only brings stable financial support to the club, but also helps to enhance brand image and market competitiveness.

Facilities construction and recruitment work are being promoted simultaneously

In terms of infrastructure construction, the club completed a £50 million investment in the Carrington Training Base on time and on budget. This investment provides players and employees with world-class training facilities, helping to improve the team's training quality and competitive level.

In terms of player introduction, the men's first team has been further strengthened by introducing powerful players such as Mattus Cunia, Diego Leon, Brian Mbeumo, Benjamin Cesco and Senne Lamens. The women's first team is not to be outdone, and the team's strength has been significantly improved by signing Yulia Zigiotti Olme, Friedolina Rolfour and Jace Parker.

Transformation Plan Helps Future Development

In order to improve operational efficiency, the club has implemented a transformation plan. While its results are not yet fully seen, the plan is expected to be reflected in improvements in revenue and cost bases in fiscal 2026. For the full year of fiscal 2026, the company expects revenue to be between £640 million and £660 million, and the adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between £180 million and £200 million. This expectation shows that the club is full of confidence in future development and also makes fans look forward to Manchester United's future.

In general, Manchester United's 2025 financial report shows the club's positive development trend in many aspects. Whether it is performance in the arena, financial data, commercial cooperation and facility construction, remarkable results have been achieved. I believe that in the future, Manchester United will continue to maintain a good development momentum and bring more surprises to fans.
