Manchester United Highest-earning Premier League Club In 2014/15

Manchester United are the highest-earning club in the Premier League and have been tipped to register the world's largest revenue for a football club in 2015/16.

The 2016 Deloitte Football Money League - detailing the 2014/15 season - measures a club's earnings from matchday revenue, broadcast rights and commercial sources, and ranks them on that basis.

Manchester United slipped to third in the world Money League standings, as their absence from European competition in 2014/15 took its toll, but the club remains the highest-earner in the Premier League.

United's total revenue was down £38m on 2013/14. With no Champions League or even Europa League football to host, there were just 21 matchdays at Old Trafford, down from 28 the previous year. That led to a 21 per cent decrease in broadcasting income to £107.7m and a 17 per cent drop in matchday revenue to £86.7m.

However, the stage is set for Manchester United to go top of the world Money League in 2015/16 and build on their domestic dominance. Despite exiting the Champions League at the group phase this season and falling into the Europa League, the increased number of matches and televised games will boost the matchday and broadcast revenues, while a mega ten-year £750m shirt deal with adidas has begun.
