Commercial revenue rose 10% and matchday income climbed 17% compared with the previous year, even as the club endured its worst league finish in 51 years, placing 15th amid enormous changes at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo have generated record revenues during such a challenging year for the club demonstrates the resilience which is a hallmark of Manchester United ,\u201d CEO Omar Berrada said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Berrada also addressed the summer\u2019s \u201cpleasing\u201d additions  to both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s squads, meanwhile having emerged from \u201ca period of structural and leadership change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Operating expenses for the year amounted to \u00a3733.6 million, down by almost \u00a335 million from 2023\u201324 but still ahead of revenue. Wages fell by 14% over the period. The annual cost of amortisation was \u00a3196.4 million, with an outstanding unamortised balance of registrations of \u00a3537.3 million as of June 30, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Exceptional expenses of \u00a336.6 million included costs related to dismissing Erik ten Hag and his staff last October. The accounts highlight both the commercial strength that delivered record revenues and the financial pressures that left the club reporting a loss for 2024\u201325.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Record \u00a3666.5m revenue in 2024\u201325, yet United reported a \u00a333m net loss amid on-field turmoil in 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2868,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[179,172],"tags":[1038,1037,1039],"class_list":["post-2869","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-manchester-united","category-epl","tag-accounts-2024-25","tag-finance","tag-revenue"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2869","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2869"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2869\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
