Manchester United financial results reveal drop in cash reserves ahead of summer transfer window
Manchester United's cash reserves fell to £73.2million during the third quarter, despite Sir Jim Ratcliffe injecting $300m (£238.5m) since becoming a minority owner. According to the Old Trafford club's latest financial results, United's cash reserves fell by £22.5m during the three months up until the end of March. Advertisement Although this was an improvement on £67m in cash during the same period last year, it follows significant investment by Ratcliffe since purchasing a 28.9 per cent minority stake last year. United's cash position is set to be a complicating factor during an important summer transfer window, as the club's hierarchy looks to back head coach Ruben Amorim with the signings of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. United agreed a deal for Cunha with Wolverhampton Wanderers last week, but only after Wolves rejected a proposal to pay the £62.5m fee over five years, insisting on three payments over two years instead. United's third quarter results revealed they still have the ability to borrow up to £90m in cash under their revolving credit facility, which could help finance transfer spending but would add to a debt pile of £713.2m. In March, Ratcliffe claimed that United were in danger of running out of cash and going bust by Christmas had they not carried out a range of cost-cutting measures across the club, including cutting up to 450 jobs. Ratcliffe also revealed that even if United make no new signings this summer, the club will 'write a cheque for £89m' this summer to pay for players already at the club, including Casemiro, Andre Onana and Rasmus Hojlund. According to the third quarter results, United have already spent a net £195.6m in cash on intangible assets this season — predominantly transfer fees — which is already £41.9m than they spent during the entirety of the 2023-24 season. Despite United's cash issues, the club reiterated that it remains 'committed to, and in compliance with, both the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) and UEFA's Financial Fair Play Regulations (FFP)'. As The Athletic revealed this week, United's PSR and FFP calculations are based upon the account of Red Football Ltd — a UK-registered subsidiary, which posted significantly lower losses than their New York-based plc last season. Despite recording their lowest finish of the Premier League era in 15th place, United tightened their projected revenue guidance for the 2024-25 campaign to between £660-670m — expecting to be at the higher end of this range. United's year-on-year broadcast income to the end of March fell by £49.1m, a result of failing to qualify for the Champions League and an underwhelming Premier League campaign. Improvements in matchday, up £18.5m (18 per cent) and commercial income (up £13.4m, or 6 per cent) lessened the blow, and have ensured United's full-year revenue projection is consistent with 2023-24 levels. Advertisement Wages fell by £42.6m compared to the same period last year — a result of missing out on the Champions League but also the January loan exits of Marcus Rashford, Antony and Tyrell Malacia. United's wage bill to 31 March was 15 per cent lower than in 2023-24, and at its lowest level this far into a season since 2019-20. United also paid £2.7m in exceptional costs during the third quarter as a result of the club's ongoing restructuring and the exits of senior leadership figures. Omar Berrada, United's chief executive, said: 'We were proud to reach the final of the UEFA Europa League, but ultimately, we were disappointed to finish as runner-up in Bilbao. 'We had a difficult season in the Premier League, which we all know fell below our standards and we have a clear expectation of improvement next season.' Berrada added: 'We remain focused on infrastructure, with the redevelopment of our Carrington Training Complex continuing and on track, which will be the heart of our club, providing world class facilities for all our teams and our staff. 'We have also announced our aspiration to pursue a new 100,000 seat stadium, sitting at the heart of the regeneration of the Old Trafford area, which would be a catalyst for growth and investment in our local community. 'We are continuing to work with all the relevant stakeholders, including central government, to support their vision for growth.'
