Manchester United borrow £60 million as loan

Manchester United have released their financial results for the second quarter of the season. These results capture the financial status of the club from December to March. The club are projected to have lost over £100 million during this time, which has caused them to borrow £60 million to safeguard their finances during the still ongoing pandemic. 

The club’s matchday revenue had fallen from over £50 million to a little over £3 million, which projects a depletion of over 90% of their revenue being lost with every passing matchday.

This will not only restore the glory of live football, but also allow clubs to operate at optimal financial situations without having to lose their main source of revenue.
