Manchester United have announced operating profits of £13.3m - as Ineos’s restructuring of the business begins to make an impact.
Despite commercial, broadcast and matchday revenues falling at Old Trafford, thanks to a lack of European football, staff cuts and cost-reducing measures have seen the club improve on this time last year, when it lost £6.9m.
Reduced player wages and staff costs saw United increase earnings to £26.9m.
Omar Berrada, Chief Executive Officer, said: ‘These robust financial results reflect the resilience of Manchester United as we make strong progress in our transformation of the club.
'The difficult decisions we have made in the past year have resulted in a sustainably lower cost base and a more streamlined, effective organisation equipped to drive the club towards improved sporting and commercial performance over the long-term.
'That has helped us to invest in our men’s and women’s teams, sitting in sixth and third places in the Premier League and Women’s Super League respectively.’
