Manchester United top Premier League revenue table with Man City lowest among top six

Manchester United generated the most match day revenue in the Premier League during the 2021/22 season, according to a collated figures report.

The Reds experienced a poor Premier League that year, ending up sixth some 35 points off champions Manchester City. However, despite the contrasting fortunes of each club, it was United who raked in the most cash on match days.

United earned £111million in total, despite the turmoil on the pitch as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was replaced by interim boss Ralf Rangnick. Financial expert Swiss Ramble puts that return as the best in England for the period.

Meanwhile, City brought in less than half of United’s figure. The report states the Blues amassed £54m from match day income, the lowest in the top six.
