Manchester United are heading for record revenues despite not playing in the Champions League last season. United announced their third-quarter results at lunchtime on Tuesday, less than an hour after another noisy and visual protest at Old Trafford against the Glazer family, who own the club.

That protest was timed to coincide with the launch of United's kit for the 2023-24 campaign. The Glazer family indicated they were ready to sell the club last November as they launched an assessment of 'strategic financial alternatives'. Seven months on, there has been no sale, amid rumours some of the Glazer family are keen to retain an interest. From the latest figures, it is easy to see why. Stronger matchday and commercial revenue means United have revised their annual revenue forecast from between £590m and £610m to between £630m and £640m, which would eclipse their previous best of £627.1m in 2019. United do still have large debts, in excess of £950m in total, including outstanding transfer fee payments of more than £160m. However, they retain an ability to make money, even managing it on Tuesday as a handful of fans navigated their way past protesters outside the entrance to and exits from the club's Megastore. United say their season ticket waiting list now stands at 146,000.
