Manchester United Reports Profit Amid Rising Debt

Manchester United announced an operational profit of £32.6 million for the six-month period ending December 31, 2025, contrasting sharply with a loss of £3.9 million during the same period the previous year. However, the club's debt has risen to £1.3 billion, with an additional £25 million drawn from a revolving credit facility, bringing total liabilities to £295.7 million.

The club also owes £1.29 billion in outstanding transfer fees. Financial costs decreased to £13.9 million from £37.6 million the previous year.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who took a 29% stake in the club two years ago, has initiated major cost-cutting measures, including two rounds of redundancies that resulted in 450 job cuts. The club's commercial revenue dropped by 8% to £78.5 million.

Despite these challenges, Omar Berrada, the Chief Executive, emphasized the importance of off-pitch transformations and the club's commitment to achieving the best possible football results for both men's and women's teams.
