Financial Times: Manchester United shares plummeted 7% after losing in the Europa League final

May 22 According to the Financial Times, Manchester United's share price fell 7% after losing the Europa League final.

Manchester United lost the Europa League final, but also missed the last chance to advance to the Champions League next season, which led to the club's loss of at least 100 million pounds of income, as well as more game days, broadcast rights and sponsorship income, and the team's salary and travel expenses will also be reduced accordingly.

As of June 2024, Manchester United has accumulated net losses of more than 370 million pounds in the past five years, and has not achieved profitability since the epidemic. According to FootballBenchmark data, the club currently has a net debt of 569 million euros. This debt is mainly due to the legacy of the Glazer family's leveraged acquisition in 2005, which has led to the club's long-term high interest costs.
