Man United announce record revenues of £677M… on the same day they start selling parts of Old Trafford pitch for £125!
Manchester United have announced a record revenue of £677.6million for the 2025-26 season in their latest financial results and appear to be celebrating the news by offering supporters the chance to purchase chunks of the Old Trafford pitch.
The club’s revenue is up from their previous record of £666.5m in the prior year, despite the lack of European football last season. They generated an operating profit for the full year of £22.6m, compared to an £18.4m loss last year.
However, both United’s commercial revenue and sponsorship revenue are down as they report net losses of £43m, up from £33m last year, as debts continue to soar under the stewardship of co-owners Ineos.
United chief executive Omar Berrada said: ‘We are pleased to have secured record revenues, which demonstrates the underlying strength of our business, particularly in a season without European football. This shows the direct impact of the work we have been doing over the past two years.
‘It also proves Manchester United’s enduring popularity and commercial strength. While these results confirm that we are on the right trajectory, we will continue to take a disciplined approach to ensure our finances remain sustainable.’
The Red Devils CEO made it clear that despite the rising debts at Old Trafford, the club are still working on bringing their plans of building the ‘Wembley of the North’ to fruition.

He added: ‘Our other main area of focus is our plan to develop a new 100,000-seater stadium. We have now completed the major milestone of securing the land which will form part of the proposed location of the new stadium.’
United have said that the sacking of Ruben Amorim at the beginning of this year contributed heavily to losses. His departure, paired with the firing of his backroom staff, cost £8.2m in exceptional costs.
United revealed that their ‘borrowings’ now stand at a hefty £583m, which is a £95m increase from last year.
The club’s commercial revenue of £317.3m is a fall of £16m, while sponsorship revenue dropped an even greater chunk of £27.9m and now stands at £160.5m. Retail and merchandising revenue did rise, however, increasing by £11.9m to £156.8m.
