Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada has highlighted the club’s financial and sporting progress over the past two years, pointing to record revenue, strong adjusted EBITDA and the return of Champions League football as evidence of the club’s positive direction.
Berrada made the comments in a statement on X while reacting to Manchester United’s latest financial results. He said the club was pleased to have recorded its highest-ever revenue and adjusted EBITDA, particularly given that the team spent the previous season without European football.
According to the CEO, the financial results demonstrate the underlying strength of Manchester United’s business and reflect the impact of measures introduced by the club over the last two years. He also pointed to the club’s continued global popularity and commercial strength as important factors behind the results.
Berrada, however, stressed that the club would continue to manage its finances carefully despite the positive figures. He said maintaining financial sustainability remained a key priority as Manchester United works to strengthen its operations and compete at the highest level.
The CEO also pointed to developments on the sporting side, revealing that the club strengthened both its men’s and women’s teams during the summer transfer window.
The men’s team is now preparing for a return to the UEFA Champions League, bringing European club football back to Old Trafford. Berrada said the combination of financial discipline, squad investment and renewed European competition forms part of the club’s broader strategy for continued progress.
The return to the Champions League is particularly significant for Manchester United, given the competition’s sporting and commercial importance. The club will now look to build on its improved financial performance while competing domestically and on the European stage.
Berrada’s comments suggest that Manchester United’s leadership sees the latest financial results and the return to Europe as important milestones in its ongoing efforts to strengthen the club both commercially and competitively.
