Financial blow for the club:
Manchester United’s debt has risen by 18%, to close to £338m, in part due to Great Britain’s decision to leave the European Union.
The club’s revenue for the three months ending 30 September 2016 is down by 2.8%, from £123.6m to £120.2m, while operating profit is down by 35%, to 6.2m. This is in part due to the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League. (Guardian)
