The latest Manchester United financial reports are in, and the results of the 2014-15 fiscal year are not as positive as the results of 2013-14. In this fiscal year, the club are feeling the effects of missing UEFA Champions League last year. So you can thank David Moyes and the 7th place finish in 2013-14 for that.
United brought in a club record £433.2 million in fiscal 2013-14, but they saw that drop to £395.2 million in the fiscal season just reported.
It was the first season in a quarter of a century where United failed to qualify for the European Cup and that reduced their match day and broadcasting revenue totals.
