Net loss of £43m for year ended 30 June 2026 Revenue hits £677.6m and forecast to grow again Manchester United reported their seventh straight annual loss on Wednesday as costs related to player acquisitions and the sacking of Ruben Amorim this year pushed them deeper into the red. The wider loss comes despite drastic actions taken by the British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the club’s minority shareholder and head of its football operations, to revive profitability, including by cutting jobs and raising ticket prices .

It is a symbol of the connection between the fanbase and club, but there is a growing fear executives would prefer stadiums full of one-off tourists The document known as “the oldest football season ticket in the world” promises its bearer access to every Burnley home game of the 1884-85 season. It is a ticket that predates the Football League by four years, with all the fixtures played against east Lancashire neighbours. All the same, the legend on the ticket carries a stern warning: “This card is not transferable. Any member violating this rule will be at once expelled from the club.” For Burnley 1884 read Manchester United 2026. While the oldest remaining season ticket is safely preserved at Turf Moor, at Old Trafford 685 season tickets were voided this summer after a club investigation found evidence of their having been resold on the secondary market. United said such practices “undermine fair access to tickets for genuine supporters and have no place at Manchester United”. United fan groups again protested against the actions of the club’s ownership, claiming: “The way you treat us is a disgrace.” Continue reading...

Michael Carrick insists team ‘kept pushing’ for leveller Matheus Cunha: ‘Fulham put in more energy than us’ Michael Carrick rejected the suggestion that his Manchester United players lacked physical fitness after they snatched a last-gasp 1-1 draw at Fulham on Sunday. The statistics showed the home side ran a collective 6.6km more than United, whose goalscorer in the 89th minute – Matheus Cunha – was critical of his team’s efforts. United were poor after the restart at 0-0, leading up to a disastrous Lisandro Martínez own goal in the 63rd minute, with Cunha saying they had to give more. “In the beginning of the second half, Fulham put in more energy than us and we cannot accept this,” Cunha said.

Carrick’s side were short on inspiration, despite the summer spend in midfield, and the lack of quality in the final third was stark One of the more damning aspects of Manchester United’s tortured rebuild is their inability to multitask. So much money has been frittered away, pushing United into the ridiculous position of going one position at a time each summer. Last year was all about the attack and the recent window was about central midfield, even though the options at full-back do not look strong enough to cope with a season back in the Champions League. United remain a listless, drifting operation. The ownership is reviled and the fanbase is becoming increasingly mutinous. It was not just Gary Neville seeing red as he commentated on United’s dismal efforts away to winless Fulham. There was an ominous shift in the mood in the away end at Craven Cottage, summed up by the boos that greeted Michael Carrick substituting Kobbie Mainoo with 10 minutes to go. Continue reading...

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick is impressed his side "kept their belief" to come from a goal down to earn a draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

To paraphrase a former Manchester United manager, Michael Carrick knew that the storm would come. Everything went a little too perfectly for him in the second half of last season. There would be ill winds at some point. Which was what Carrick could feel before this visit to Fulham. What were his emotions afterwards? Relief was surely the main thing. Because after the derby defeat by Manchester City last Sunday and the midweek Carabao Cup exit against Brighton – both at Old Trafford – Carrick was starring at an unwanted hat-trick. All this on the back of other wobbles since the opening weekend when United lost at Hull. It is all extremely angsty and edgy. Continue reading...
