Man United post record revenues but are still making losses
MANCHESTER: Manchester United posted record revenues in their latest annual accounts despite missing out on Champions League soccer and enduring their its worst-ever Premier League campaign. But despite revenues of 666.5 million pounds ($910 million) the 20-time English champion still reported losses of 33 million pounds ($45 million). “To have generated record revenues during such a challenging year for the club demonstrate the resilience which is a hallmark of Manchester United,” chief executive Omar Berrada said. The accounts for the year ending June 30, 2025, came after minority owner Jim Ratcliffe embarked on cost-cutting measures, which have seen two rounds of job cuts with an estimated reduction of more than 400 members of staff, as well as ticket price hikes. United told fans in January they could not sustain their losses and Ratcliffe later said the club were in danger of running out of money by the end of the year. Losses fell from 113.2 million pounds to 33 million. United’s commercial strength comes despite their ongoing troubles on the field, which have seen them struggle to keep pace with Premier League rivals like Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. They did not play in the lucrative Champions League last season and finished 15th in England’s 20-team top division — their lowest since the inception of the Premier League in 1992. They also recorded their lowest points total and highest number of losses, which led to them failing to qualify for any European soccer competition this season. United have not won the league title since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. This season has not started well either, with Ruben Amorim’s team only winning one of four games and having been eliminated from the English

Brave Bodo/Glimt snatch 2-2 draw with Slavia Prague in Champions League debut
PRAGUE: Norway’s Bodo/Glimt pulled off a sensational comeback to draw 2-2 away to Slavia Prague in their first ever Champions League group game on Wednesday, with substitute Sondre Brunstad Fet netting the 90th-minute equalizer. Having built a reputation in Europe for devil-may-care football no matter who they face, the club from inside the Arctic Circle did not disappoint, putting in a battling performance that could easily have finished 5-5. The Norwegians, who made a remarkable run to the semifinals of last season’s Europa League where they lost to English side Tottenham Hotspur, started well but were punished in the 23rd minute when fullback Youssoupha Mbodji ghosted in at the back post to tap home Lukas Provod’s pass. The step up in class to the Champions League proved tough for Kjetil Knutsen’s side.
De Bruyne says Manchester City return will feel strange
BRUSSELS: Belgium midfielder Kevin De Bruyne said on Saturday that a return to Manchester City later this month in the colors of his new club Napoli will be a strange sensation. De Bruyne, 34, left City at the end of last season when his contract was not renewed and joined Napoli, who visit the Etihad Stadium for their Champions League group opener on September 18. “I’ve only played two matches in Serie A. It’s different under manager (Antonio) Conte than the years under Pep Guardiola,” De Bruyne told reporters on the eve of Belgium’s World Cup Group J qualifier against Kazakhstan in Brussels. “My first impression is that it’s more tactical in Italy and things move a bit slower.
