Summary

#1009 | Ed and Jamie review United’s Q3 financial results, noting slightly better-than-expected revenue, improved operating profit versus last year’s loss, and a wage bill at its lowest share of revenue in about a decade, alongside raised guidance. However, United face weak liquidity - around £60m cash- with the revolver credit up to £260m, ongoing outflows for historic transfer fees, and the continuing constraint this places on squad rebuilding. There’s a discussion around the confirmed costs of hiring and firing Amorim (£16.7m compensation plus a £5.2m write-off), the need to refinance roughly £750m of debt amid uncertain interest rates, limited progress on the new stadium, and a Betway training kit deal reported at £20m per year.
