According to a new report, the financial planning of Manchester United will not take into account the qualification of the Champions League for the next four years.
The Red Devils were omnipresent in the primary club competition of European football between 1993 and 2014 and won the 1999 and 2008 editions under Sir Alex Ferguson. But United only appeared in a quarter -finals of the Champions League in the following 11 years and spent a lot of time in the Europa League.
A catastrophic campaign 2024/25, which began under Erik Ten HAG and continued under Ruben Amorim. This means that the qualification for any kind of European football is now at the Europa League this season in the United acquisition – a task that has the latest form would indicate that they are not going to do.
If this is the case, United is entered in the Champions League in the next season, but the very real way of not playing a continental football will significantly burden the sensitive finances of the association. Minority owners Ineos, led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, have made comprehensive changes in Old Trafford and the way the association is carried out at all levels to save money.
This has caused an unprecedented number of employees to be exposed to the risk of redundancy – something that Amorim has recently admitted is the responsibility of the players.
A report from the telegraph The financial planning of states United for the next few years is no longer aimed at qualifying for the latter phases of the Champions League and instead responsible for the probable participation in the Europa League.
The forecast of the next season expressly makes the fact that United can only play Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup Football – which will have a significant impact on the income of games, sponsorship and TV radio income.
Playing at the highest level of European football will also affect Amorim and the ability of the association to attract first-class players, despite the prestige and famous history of the club, and the departures of the players will be a big factor for the determination of how much is spent on transfer fees.
The Europa League adventure from United will continue with the first leg of her 16 tie with Real Sociedad with La Liga -a team that you have got used to in recent years. The Red Devils won 4-0 with 4-0 with 4-0 in February 2021 and 1: 0 in November 2022, but lost through the same goal line during the last visit to the Basque team.
