Man Utd first quarter financial results out. Total revenues of £140.3m, down slightly from £143.1m last year. Operating profit for the quarter was £13m, compared to loss of £7m 12 months ago.
Omar Berrada: "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." [Simon stone]
Manchester United's sponsorship revenue was £47m, down £4.8m due largely to the end of their training kit deal with Tezos. Sources say 'positive talks' with new partners are ongoing.
Manchester United’s net debt has now risen to its highest ever level of £749.2m after the club borrowed an additional £105m from its credit facility.
The debt from the Glazer takeover remains unchanged at £481m. [Chris Wheeler, Daily Mail]

AndyMitten on Mainoo’s future in the summer:
"Unfortunately, I don’t think it looks good for him. Manchester United are looking for two midfielders and that will not be a too thing for Kobbie Mainoo. I am pretty bleak about the future for him as a Manchester United player."

🎙️ | Paul Scholes RIPS into Rúben Amorim and #mufc's management:
"I don't think this manager just gets this club, FULL STOP. I just don't think he's the right man.
"Man United's about risk and entertainment more than anything. At home, especially. Having fans on the edge of their seat, f*cking ready to go. Wingers who beat people, shots on goal, bits of skill. There's nothing there. That's from the club.
"We talk about this as a different club. They've got Omar Berrada, they've got Jason Wilcox, who are probably brilliant at their job, brilliant at what they do. They're NOT Man United, they don't have a CLUE what it's like to buy a Manchester United player, to bring a Manchester United manager in.
"If you go to Sporting Lisbon and watch, they play three at the back. Right away, that's no. Man United never do that. They can't do that. They just can't. It's been proven over years and years and years. And I'm talking even before Sir Alex Ferguson, it was always about 4-4-1-1 or 4-4-2. Entertaining people.
He hasn't got that in him. He brought four defenders on against West Ham. If we go 1-0 up, the manager always said, 2, 3, 4. I remember once, I think we were playing Chelsea. Went 1-0 up and, we sat back a little bit.
"Now, Chelsea were a good team. The manager went absolutely nuts after the game. That doesn't happen here. When you score one, you go for two. You go for the throw every single time. I just don't think he gets it."

Andoni Iraola:
"I love to play at Old Trafford, to coach in this case [at] what I think is one of the best stadiums in the world.
The problem is you face normally a top team when you play there and very good players. But I think the atmosphere there is really nice and I’m sure my players will appreciate it.
But they will have to know that in those stadiums you have to be at a certain level that is very high and I hope we are.
We have good precedents but also I think we are playing this season against a team that is in a really good run."
