Profits Down 52% At Manchester United
Revenue at Manchester United fell by 12.2% in the six months to December, the club has reported.
The club said that revenue for the six months until the end of December last year closed at £194.4m. It said the fall is due to lost payments from Nike when it failed to qualify for the Uefa Champions League.
The club also reported profits had fallen by 52% to £8.9m, due to a "sharp fall" in broadcast and match-day revenue.
Man Jumps Naked From Flat To Escape Fire
