Manchester United have announced the results of their fourth quarter trading period for the year ended June 30, 2025.

United have reported revenues of £164 million for the fourth quarter, which contributes to record revenues for 2025 of £666.5m.

Those revenues were made during a period in which United finished in 15th place in the Premier League, their worst performance in the competition since it was created in 1992.

Due to their competing in the Europa League, the final of which they lost to Tottenham Hotspur, United saw broadcasting revenues slump by £50m to £173m given their participation in the Champions League the season before.

United expect an improvement to retail and merchandise revenues and a slight uplift in broadcasting revenues given an increase in Premier League broadcasting money offsetting the absence of the club from UEFA competition this season.

The club also added that it ‘remains committed to, and in compliance with, both the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules and UEFA’s Financial Fair Play Regulations’.

“As we settle into the 2025/26 season, we are working hard to improve the club in all areas,” CEO Omar Berrada said.

“On the field, we are pleased with the additions we have made to our men’s and women’s first team squads over the summer, as we build for the long-term. Off the field, we are emerging from a period of structural and leadership change with a refreshed, streamlined organisation equipped to deliver on our sporting and commercial objectives.

“We are also investing to upgrade our infrastructure, including completion of the £50m redevelopment of our men’s first team building at Carrington, on time and on budget, following prior investment in our women’s team facilities, to create a world-class environment for our players and staff. Meanwhile, planning continues to meet our ambition of developing a new stadium at Old Trafford as part of a transformational regeneration of the surrounding community.

“To have generated record revenues during such a challenging year for the club demonstrates the resilience which is a hallmark of Manchester United. Our commercial business remains strong as we continue to deliver appealing products and experiences for our fans, and best-in-class value to our partners. As we start to feel the benefits of our cost-reduction programme, there is significant potential for improved financial performance, which will, in turn, support our overriding priority: success on the pitch.”
