The £95.4 million increase was attributed to unrealized foreign exchange losses on the retranslation of US dollar borrowings. The company’s revenue increased by £89.1 million.
Manchester United lost £2 million per week last season.
“Our fiscal 2022 financial results reflect a recovery from the pandemic, the full return of fans, and new commercial partnerships offset by increased investment in the playing squad,” CFO Cliff Baty said.

Wages increased by 19.1 percent as a result of the summer signings of Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, and Raphael Varane, totaling £384.2 million.
This is the most money ever spent in the Premier League, breaking Manchester City’s previous record of £355 million.

“While much more work remains to be done, everyone at the club is focused on delivering sustained success on the field as well as a sustainable economic model off the field, to the mutual benefit of fans, shareholders, and other stakeholders.”
