3.3% Fall In Revenue For Man U
Manchester United has reported a 3.3% fall in revenues falling to £320.3m in the year to 30 June.
Net profit rose 79.2% to £23.3m, and this was boosted by a £28m tax credit.
Revenue from sponsorship and merchandising rose by 13.7% to a record £117.6m for the year.
The numbers are the first since the football club floated on the New York Stock Exchange last month at $14-a-share, since when the price has fallen.
Three Die In House Fire
Three generations of a one family have been killed in a suspected arson attack.
17-year-old Kayleigh Buckley, her six-month-old daughter Kimberley, and Kimberley’s grandmother, 46-year-old Kim all died in the fire at their house in south Wales.
Detectives are investigating the cause of the blaze and a 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Duggan Trial Continues
A loaded handgun was given to Mark Duggan 15 minutes before he was shot dead by police in Tottenham, north London, last year, a court has heard.
Details emerged as the prosecution opened its case against Kevin Hutchinson-Foster, 30, who denies a charge of supplying the weapon.
Duggans death sparked riots in London, which spread across England in summer 2011.
Mr Hutchinson-Foster, of no fixed abode, denies selling or transferring a prohibited firearm to Mr Duggan between 28 July and 5 August last year.
The trial continues.
