Manchester United bosses will continue to consider cutting costs - despite announcing record financial results.
United have achieved a record high financial revenue of £666.5m relating to the last 12 months.
The figures come despite United enduring a miserable season on the pitch, which saw them fail to win silverware and finish 15th in the Premier League table.
It was the club's lowest placing since 1974, when United were relegated from the top flight.
But the beginning of a new shirt sponsorship deal with 'Snapdragon' enabled United to post record commercial revenue of £333.3m, while match day revenue was also a record £160.3m in the year to June 30.

Yet United have no European football this season, which means co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is keen to maintain a tight rein on the club's finances.
Ratcliffe, who has made a raft of redundancies since taking control of football operations, is focused on continued discipline to control costs, while hoping the team can get back to winning matches.
Chief executive Omar Barrada said: "To have generated record revenues during such a challenging year for the club demonstrates the resilience which is a hallmark of Manchester United.
