Man United’s Path to Financial Supremacy: Monetizing a Global Fanbase
Manchester United has an opportunity to regain financial dominance over rivals Manchester City by capitalizing on its vast global fanbase, according to financial expert Kieran Maguire. Despite United’s recent struggles on the pitch, Maguire believes that by effectively monetizing their worldwide support, they can outpace City financially.
The financial accounts for the 2022/23 season revealed that Manchester United generated an impressive £648 million in revenue, setting a Premier League record at the time. However, their financial glory was short-lived as Manchester City announced revenue figures of £713 million, outperforming their cross-town rivals by £65 million.
City’s rapid growth in commercial revenue and substantial prize money from their historic treble-winning season contributed to their financial success, not only on the field but also off it.
Maguire suggests that Manchester United’s lack of on-pitch success has been a significant factor in their financial setback. However, he believes that the club can return to the top of the financial ladder by effectively converting their massive fanbase into revenue.
While acknowledging Manchester United’s immense popularity with sponsors and their global fan base, Maguire points out that converting this support into financial gains remains a challenge. With a significant portion of their fanbase residing in Asia, the club’s preseason tours in the region provide an opportunity to monetize this support.
The financial expert also notes that the Glazer family, who owns Manchester United, seems to have plans for tapping into this potential revenue stream. If they can successfully convert casual followers into paying customers, Maguire believes that United has a good chance of reclaiming the top financial spot that Manchester City has held for the past three years.
In summary, Manchester United, despite its recent on-field struggles, has the potential to lead financially by capitalizing on its enormous global fanbase. The key lies in effectively monetizing this support, which could propel the club back to financial supremacy in the Premier League.
