How surprising that he BBC has been remarkably quiet about this story. It's been sidelined to the gossip column. Maybe they haven't made a loss and it's just tittle tattle?

This. Every time they make a profit its headline news but not a whiff about this loss on the site but we all know thier bias towards all things utd

I would think it's a 'cooking the books' exercise to pay less tax overall.
Do you pay any corporation tax if you've lost money?
Isn't the tax based on profit?
I think most international companies have ways and means to be more 'tax efficient'!

And as Ed WoodWood has said "Our solid business model has allowed us to invest in the future of the Club with the extension of Jose Mourinho's contract as manager and the acquisition of Alexis Sanchez. We look forward to the remainder of the season with confidence," said Ed Woodward, Executive Vice Chairman of Manchester United.

So everything is all fine and dandy, arf!

We'll know when they're desperate when they flog the swamps naming rights.

To be honest I'm amazed they haven't done it anyway. Must be worth a fortune.

If they sell to the highest bidder, I don't think it is beyond the realms of possibility for the team to either:

1. run out from under the "Golden Arches" or;
2. have the ball delivered to the centre-circle by a sky-diving Mickey Mouse

Fans would be so opposed to changing the name of the swamp that thousands would threaten to leave and form their own new club.

They wouldn't need to get rid of the old name, they could just call it the The Intu debt Old Trafford Centre.

Can't find anything about this on the BBC website. Is Mr Stone on holiday today or is he googling "polish a turd" ?

He did a thread on twitter about their financial results without mentioning anything about the profit/loss. No article anywhere on the BBC website about it either. Anyone really surprised?

They’ve got the most social media followers and sold a few Sanchez shirts, doesn’t hide the fact they’ve spent shit loads of money to be 13 points off the pace in February and only the realistic trophy the have of winning is the fa cup.

What utter joy.

Chief Executive believes spunking millions on a star player touching 30, and extending Mr Shitty Spiteful’s contract, is investing in the future.

It was on their website (BBC) all day yesterday :

A rising wage bill for players has cut into the latest quarterly profits from Manchester United.

For the three months to 31 December the club made an operating profit of £28.7m, down 23% on the same period in the previous year.

Wages, which make up half of the club's costs, rose 9.4% to £69.6m.

Players were paid more because Manchester United was back in the Uefa Champions League, but that also meant higher income from TV.

Broadcasting revenue was £61.6m, up 17% on the previous year, with total revenue for the quarter up 3.8% to £163.9m.

As well as Uefa Champions League games, income during the quarter was boosted by two extra Premier League games that were broadcast live.

"Our solid business model has allowed us to invest in the future of the Club with the extension of Jose Mourinho's contract as manager and the acquisition of Alexis Sanchez. We look forward to the remainder of the season with confidence," said Ed Woodward, Executive Vice Chairman of Manchester United.

United loose £49m in last 6 months.

I thought I was good at maths but this one has me stumped. I know it's an accounting charge - that could be for many things - but how can they blame it on Trump for paying less tax? Sorry it just doesn't compute.

They are geared up to blaming anybody / everybody in order to deflect the facts .

Thought he'd gone to Arsenal.

That's a small article from the business section. Nothing in the sports section. Perhaps I'm betraying my lack of business knowledge here but why is every other media outlet saying they've made a huge loss?

No it wasn`t.It was on the main sports page yesterday,as its on my main Bookmark Pages,which I constantly look at.

I see that the myth is actually true of players supporting the club as a child.....taken from the BBC Sport Gossip column.

Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Christian Pulisic, 19, has refused to rule out a potential move to Manchester United, the club he supported as a child. (Mail)
