Man Utd Reports Nine‑Month Operating Profit After £16.7m Amorim Payout

Higher broadcast income together with cost cuts prompted the club to raise its full‑year revenue and profit guidance.

Overview

  • On Wednesday, May 27, Manchester United published third‑quarter results showing a nine‑month operating profit of £37.7m for the period to 31 March 2026.
  • The accounts disclose a £16.7m exceptional charge to terminate Ruben Amorim and his coaching staff, a one‑off cost recorded in the period.
  • EBITDA rose to £187.5m and broadcasting revenue jumped about 57% to £64.9m, with a third‑place Premier League finish securing Champions League qualification that helped justify upgraded guidance.
  • Michael Carrick was confirmed as permanent head coach in late May after an interim spell that coincided with the on‑field recovery, and the club said its business transformation measures supported the financial turnaround.
  • Despite the improved results, United still carry roughly $650m of legacy debt and higher short‑term borrowings, which constrain cash and could shape transfer and financing choices next season.
