Business Doctor Broadcast - Deep Diving into Man United's Accounts!
Sunday, 27 September, 2026

Manchester United have just posted record revenue of £677.6m. They also lost £43m.So is the club healthy? Can it still buy players? And what does the Glazer debt actually cost?I'm a season ticket holder, and I get frustrated watching people with no business background explain football club accounts. I own multiple businesses and I know my way around a balance sheet, so I've gone through United's FY26 results properly.In this episode:- How the Glazers bought the club, and why the mechanics are the same as an interest-only buy-to-let mortgage- Where record revenue came from in a season without European football- EBITDA and player amortisation in plain English- Why academy players are pure profit on the books- Where the cash went: players, land for the new stadium and refinancing- Why selling future transfer instalments early is a warning sign- Whether the debt really stops United buying players, and what UEFA's squad cost rules mean- Who pays for a new stadiumThe Business Doctor Broadcast is a new series from The Property Doctor podcast. Business, entrepreneurship, interesting people and the business side of topical stories, from a retired GP who now runs businesses across several sectors.Thank you for listening, I'm Dr Andrew Threadgold and the host of The Property Doctor Podcast.You can find me on instagram: www.instagram.com/andrew_threadgoldAll other enquiries: andrew@cornerplotproperties.com
