The financial impact of Manchester United missing out on the Champions League has been revealed in the club's financial results for the last three months of 2024.
Manchester United faces a potential Financial Fair Play (FFP) nightmare after revealing the financial impact of missing out on the Champions League. Broadcasting revenue dropped by 42% to £61.6 million in the final three months of 2024, attributed to competing in the Europa League instead of the Champions League. Currently 15th in the Premier League, United is unlikely to qualify for European competition via the league but remains a favorite to win the Europa League, which would secure Champions League entry for the 2025/2026 season. The loss of European football revenue could negatively impact the club's transfer business, particularly as they consider selling academy graduates for profit under Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
