Manchester United reported a net loss of £43 million for the year ended 30 June 2026. The figure marked the club’s seventh straight annual loss.
The result came even though the club posted record revenue of £677.6 million. That total rose 1.7 percent from £666.5 million the previous year.
Broadcasting income climbed almost 20 percent. The increase followed a third place finish in the Premier League. Commercial and matchday revenues each fell close to five percent. The club played no European fixtures during the season.
Chief executive Omar Berrada commented on the figures. He said: “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.”
Manchester United recorded an operating profit of £22.6 million. The previous year had produced an operating loss of £18.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA reached a record £216.4 million, up 18.4 percent.
The club reduced its wage bill to £302 million. That figure dropped £11.3 million or 3.6 percent from the prior year. Officials linked the fall to squad changes and earlier headcount reductions.
Exceptional costs of £8.2 million appeared in the accounts. Most of the sum was related to the departure of former head coach Ruben Amorim.
Non current borrowings rose to £577.6 million. Total debt increased by about £95 million to £583 million. The club also confirmed it had acquired land next to Old Trafford for a planned new stadium.
Omar Berrada added: “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.”
Manchester United forecast revenue of between £740 million and £760 million for the following financial year.
