Manchester United are set for an instant £10million hit in sponsorship revenue following their Europa League final defeat, sources have told Football Insider.
Ruben Amorim’s side were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham after Brennan Johnson grabbed the winner in Bilbao on Wednesday (21 May).
That meant Man United missed out on a place in the Champions League, with Spurs set to play in the competition instead next season.
The final was the Premier League duo’s last opportunity to qualify for European football as United sit 16th in the top-flight table and Tottenham are 17th heading into the last game of the season.
The Manchester giants have signed a new 10-year sponsorship deal with Adidas worth £900million over the lifetime of the contract.
However, under the terms of the agreement, United will now be deducted £10million by the German manufacturer each time they fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Man United could face £125m hit
The failure to secure any European football for next season will have a significant impact on the financial situation at Old Trafford.
Finance expert Stefan Borson told Football Insider United could face a £125million swing in revenue after missing out on Europe.
The club sent a letter to fan groups in January warning them they are at risk of breaking the profit and sustainability rules (PSR), with top-flight sides only permitted to make £105million of losses over a rolling three-year period.
United posted a club-record revenue of £661.8million in 2023-24, but they recorded a net loss of £113.2million.
