Description: MANU Manchester United January 10, 2026

Manchester United plc (NYSE:MANU) runs a globally recognized football club and monetises its brand through a diversified portfolio that includes sponsorship and marketing agreements, licensed merchandise, live-match broadcasting, and the operation of Old Trafford stadium and related property assets. The business also distributes content via its own MUTV channel and e-commerce platforms, leveraging both direct sales and wholesale partners.

Key recent metrics underscore the importance of commercial and media streams: in FY 2023 the club generated £657 million in total revenue, with roughly 60 % derived from commercial activities (sponsorships, apparel, and licensing) and 30 % from broadcasting rights. Average match-day attendance at Old Trafford remained above 73,000, supporting robust match-day revenue despite broader economic headwinds. A primary sector driver is the escalating value of sports media rights, which have risen at a compound annual growth rate of ~10 % globally, pressuring clubs to secure long-term, high-value broadcast contracts.
