Manchester United sent a worrying message about his financial resources on Thursday.
In response to a letter from the fans' groups about the increase in ticket prices in Old Trafford, United responded by saying: “We are currently incurring a great loss every year – with a total of more than 300 million pounds in the past three years.
“This is not sustainable, and if we do not move now, we will face the risk of failure to adhere to the requirements of PSR/FFP in the coming years and significantly influence our ability to compete on the field.”
Since Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Anweus arrived at the club as investors, there have been a series of stories about the discounts and savings that were achieved. There were 250 employees in excess of the need in the club, the money allocated to the club's legends was reduced or restructured behind the scenes.
The pain was short -term with ambition to achieve long -term gains – United believes that restructuring could save 40 million pounds in the future. The situation was also a subject in the transfer period for January, when local players such as Alejandro Garnechu were linked to possible sales.

Sky Sports News, Cafe Salcol, discussed Chelsea's interest in Manchester United player Alejandro Garnechu, saying that this is very logical for the Blues and that this step is possible in the transfer window for January.

“United announced a net loss of 113 million pounds in his recent accounts, and lost more than 300 million pounds over the past three years. The new participant owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has been demobilized, reduced spending and raised ticket prices.”
“Every season that United spends outside the Champions League strikes them strongly. Given their league position, things will get worse before they improve.”

Sky Sports News, Café Salcol, is discussing how clubs improve revenues by increasing ticket prices and eliminating privileges, and explains the response sent by Manchester United to his supporters group regarding this.
It is interesting that this statement about the need to tighten the belts comes in the week in which United was included in the fourth place in the Delhott Financial Football League 2025, with its revenues exceeding 651.3 million pounds, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint -Germain.
But the weak sporting performance had its effect. In addition to the absence of the Champions League, there were major transfer expenses in recent seasons, as more than 600 million pounds were spent on players for Eric Tin Hag. United also had to pay compensation for the Dutch after extending his contract in the summer and then dismissed 12 games this season.
With Amorim, it seems to be updated to the team and to bring players to suit its different system and its game style, United may have to get out of the problems. This brings us back to the high prices of tickets and controversial discounts.

After his late victory over Rangers in the European League, Chris Boydi United criticized Rangers in the European League, saying that they should be “a lot better” and that they still have a long way to cut him to compete at the highest level.
United fans' groups have described the high ticket prices in recent years as “largely important” in the large plan of the club's huge revenues.
“Maybe the participants may see the high prices represents a marginal gain,” says Salhikol.
He added: “United is burdened with huge debts and they have to adhere to the English Premier League financial regulations and the European Football Association.
“In general, the more you earn, the more you spend – especially in light of the rules of controlling the cost of the new team in the Premier League, which will be issued next season.
“United needs to reduce costs and increase revenues to the maximum extent. High ticket prices, collective demobilization and reduce costs are all controversial when the fans can refer to players who earn fortunes and do not perform on the field.
“Many clubs have money that have invested a lot of money in their clubs. United has cost more than a billion pounds due to the ownership of the Glyzer family. Dean United is long -term – the money borrowed by the Glyzer family 20 years ago to buy the club – $ 650.” M (526 million pounds).
Can Manchester United violate PSR/FFP bases?
It is apparent, United claim that they have lost 300 million pounds over the past three years would put them in violation of the PSR rules, which only allows the loss of 105 million pounds over three seasons.
However, within these rules there are suits, where clubs can extend paid transport fees on multiple accounting periods and remove the costs that are considered “in the public interest of football”, such as infrastructure, women's teams and academies.
Earlier this month, we reported that the Premier League clubs were not charged with PSR violations for a period of three years between 2021-2024.
More importantly, PSR is scheduled to be replaced by the team's cost rules next seasonWhich will limit club spending on a percentage of their revenues.
So, at the present time, United is within the borders. But as the club has warned itself, crucial steps are now needed to avoid punishment in the future.
