Manchester City are losing an amazing £7.2million PER MATCH this season.

The People says the club is losing £161 for every ticket sold at the Etihad Stadium.

That's how much extra City fans would have to fork out at every home league game for their club to break even.

The shocking new figures also indicate that they are losing a staggering £7.2million PER MATCH.

The study shows that reigning champions and title rivals United make a profit of £15 for every league ticket sold at Old Trafford.

Each of United's 19 home league matches rakes in a £1.1m profit.

But United are not the most profitable club - that honour goes to Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, who make £28 per league ticket and £1.7m per match at the Emirates.

The figures, calculated by financialfairplay.co.uk, are based on a club's performance over the last three years.
