Manchester United has disclosed an £8.5 million pay-off to former manager Ruben Amorim, who was sacked in January after 14 months in charge. This figure is less than the £16.7 million initially recorded as an exceptional item in May, reportedly due to Amorim subsequently taking on the AC Milan job.
The club also announced record revenues of £677.6 million for the year ended 30 June 2026, an increase from £666.5 million the previous year. This was achieved despite the team's absence from European competition.
Despite the record revenues, Manchester United posted a pre-tax loss of almost £47 million. The wage bill decreased by £11.3 million, or 3.6 per cent, to £302 million, attributed to changes in the men's first-team squad and headcount reduction programmes.
Chief executive Omar Berrada stated, "We are pleased to have secured record revenues and adjusted EBITDA which demonstrates the underlying strength of our business, particularly in a season without European football." The club's revenue guidance for the next year is ��740 million to £760 million, with the team now back in the Champions League.
