United’s second quarter financial results:
Commercial revenue down 19% (£122.3m)
Broadcasting revenue up 60.1% (£156.3m)
Matchday revenue down 94.2% (£3.2m)
Total revenue down 7.2% (£281.8m)
Net debt up 16.4% (£455.5m)
Debt has gone up £15m since the last results and £64m over the entire year, our match day revenue has taken an absolute hammering given we generate the second highest after Spurs in the league.
Wage bill goes up nearly £11m due to players being given pay increases for CL qualification.
Man Utd confirm they have taken a "£60million drawdown on our £200 million revolving credit facilities during the quarter". I’m expecting a rather quiet transfer window for United this summer.

How can you have any matchday revenue when there's no crowds?
Creative accountancy.

I imagine staff being furloughed has probably accounted for the 6%.
Gives you an idea about how much money they make on a match day after staff costs I suppose.
But then again having a Bertie talking about cooking the books is like taking a lecture about child minding from Jimmy Saville.

Did you charge the staff for being furloughed?
A bit harsh
