Man Utd break £500M revenue barrier

Manchester United have broken the £500 million barrier in revenue.

United have become the first English club to earn more than half a billion pounds in a single year, having announced a total revenue of £515.3million.

A fifth-place finish in the Premier League saw United miss out on Champions League qualification, but matters away from the pitch were far more successful as they made a record total revenue of £515.3m.

The club's accounts up until 30 June 2016 confirmed the widely-expected news that they had become the first British club to break the half-billion mark, but it is short of Barcelona's €679million (£570million) revenue announced in July.
