"The worst team ever" came out, but the brand "Manchester United" still seems to be scarce. The BBC reported on the 18th (Korea Standard Time) 'Manchester United earned 666.5 million pounds (about 1.2652 trillion won) despite its poor performance last season.'

Manchester United ranked 15th in the 2024-2025 Premier League, the worst performance in 50 years since the 1973-1974 season. As the team has been sluggish repeatedly, head coach Hoobeng Amorim said in public, `Maybe we are the worst team in Manchester United's historyIt was even controversial that he even mentioned ".

But there was no problem getting income. The BBC explained that 'Manchester United made record profits of 333.3 million pounds (about 628.3 billion won) from its full-size sponsorship contract with Snapdragon, and the game-related profits also reached 160.3 million pounds (about 302.1 billion won) during the 2024-2025 season'. On the other hand, the loss was 33 million pounds (about 62.2 billion won), down 70.8% year-on-year. Deloitte, a British accounting firm, assessed that Manchester United's sales are the world's fourth largest after Real Madrid (£883 million, about 1.664.5 trillion won), Manchester City (£780 million, about KRW 1.47 trillion), and Paris Saint-Germain (£681 million, about KRW 1.2839 trillion).




Manchester United look encouraged. Manchester United CEO Omar Verrada said, `It shows Manchester United's unique resilience to generate such record profits despite a difficult season.'

The BBC cited Manchester United's secret to revenue generation as 'cost reduction'. Manchester United fired more than 400 employees in the last two years after Ineos, led by Jim Letcliffe, took control. The total annual salary of the team was also reduced by 25%. "Cost-cutting projects are likely to significantly improve financial performance, which will ultimately be the foundation to support success," Verada predicted.

Despite this, Manchester United still has high debt. The cumulative debt amounts to 471.9 million pounds (about 889.6 billion won), and the size will increase further if the transfer fee to be paid in installments is added. BBC reported that Manchester United spent a total of 156.8 million pounds (about 295.6 billion won) in the summer transfer market. Club officials say Manchester United are determined to overcome the downturn and move back to the championship race.
