Manchester United has reported a 17.4% jump in total revenue for its fiscal third quarter ending March 31, 2025, even as the club endured a disappointing season on the pitch.

The Premier League giants, who finished a lowly 15th in the domestic league and fell to Tottenham in the UEFA Europa League Final, posted a quarterly operating profit of £0.7 million. This marked a sharp turnaround from an operating loss of £66.2 million during the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA also saw a substantial boost, reaching £51.2 million—an increase of 274% year-on-year.

Revenue gains were recorded across all major income streams. The club credited its extended European campaign and robust demand for matchday hospitality as major contributors to the improved figures.

Looking ahead, United has slightly revised its revenue forecast for the full fiscal year, narrowing it to between £660 million and £670 million. The club, however, raised its adjusted EBITDA projection to a range of £180 million to £190 million.

Chief Executive Officer Omar Berrada acknowledged the mixed results. “While reaching the Europa League Final was a proud moment, falling short in Bilbao was disappointing. Our Premier League performance did not meet expectations, and we’re determined to improve next season,” he said.

Berrada also highlighted bright spots elsewhere in the club: “Our women’s team had a strong campaign, finishing third in the league to secure UEFA Champions League qualification and making another run to the FA Cup Final.”

Off the pitch, United remains focused on long-term development projects. The overhaul of the Carrington Training Complex is progressing as planned, and discussions continue around an ambitious proposal to build a new 100,000-seat stadium in the Old Trafford area.

“Our vision is to create a world-class facility at the heart of a wider regeneration initiative,” Berrada added, noting that the club is working closely with government and other stakeholders to help bring the project to life.
