Manchester United's latest wage expenses, along with the consequences of cost-reduction measures under Sir Jim Ratcliffe's direction, detailed in their recent financial report.
Manchester United's Financial Improvements and the 2024-25 Season Manchester United, one of the world's most iconic football clubs, has reported a significant financial turnaround in the 2024-25 season. Despite the club's dismissal of Erik ten Hag contributing to 'exceptional expenses' totaling £36.6m, the team managed to post record revenues of £666.5 million for the same season.
Omar Berrada, Manchester United's chief executive, highlighted the club's resilience as a hallmark of Manchester United. He stated, "Our resilience is a testament to the strength of this great institution."
The club's wage expenditure in the last year amounted to approximately £302 million. However, the wage bill for the 2024-25 season saw a decrease of approximately £52m, setting it at £313.2m. This decrease was accompanied by a significant reduction in the wage bill, which fell from £113 million to £33 million in the previous year.
Manchester United's operating expenses decreased by £35 million for the 2024-25 season, a clear indication of the club's commitment to cost-cutting measures. The improved financial performance is expected to lead to significant potential for improved financial performance in the future.
Despite the absence of European football for the 2025-26 season, Manchester United's revenues are expected to remain stable. However, the club's financial improvements are attributed to INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe's cost-cutting program at Old Trafford.
The estimated cost of Erik ten Hag and his staff's exit, along with Amorim and his backroom team's arrival, was around £26m. It is important to note that Manchester United is not yet profitable, but the current leadership has made significant improvements to the club's financial situation.
Berrada also mentioned that the club's commercial business remains strong and delivers appealing products and experiences for fans. The club's commercial and matchday retail performance remains strong, despite on-field troubles.
As of June 30, 2025, Manchester United still owes £537.3 million in unamortised balance of registrations. No information was provided about the performance on the pitch during the 2024-25 season. The financial improvements are expected to support the club's priority: success on the pitch.
It is worth noting that the sacking of Amorim during the 2025-26 season would result in further 'exceptional expenses' for Manchester United's 2025-26 accounts.
In conclusion, Manchester United's financial situation has shown promising signs of improvement, with significant cost-cutting measures and increased revenues. The club's focus remains on achieving success on the pitch, and the current leadership is committed to sustaining these financial improvements for the future.
