Manchester United received a boost of £ 9 million prior to the summer transfer window, in which the Red Devils participated next month in a tour after the season through Asia
Manchester United is set at an extra £ 9 million after it was announced that the club will start a tour after the season through Malaysia and Hong Kong. Next month United will play two friendly matches in what their first trip after the season is abroad in the modern era.
The side of Ruben Amorim will be confronted on 28 May with Asean All Stars in the Bukit Jalil National Stadium in Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong, China in the Hong Kong Stadium on 30 May. That means that United will fly to Malaysia immediately after their last Premier League match of the season against Aston Villa on 25 May.
According to Manchester Evening News, the journey will generate about £ 9 million, which will come as a huge boost with United to lose significant income because of their poor performance this season, unless they can win the Europa League.
“We appreciate the amazing level of support that Manchester United enjoys all over the world,” said CEO Omar Berrada. “And this summer we are delighted to deliver a schedule that offers our fans in Asia, Scandinavia and the United States the opportunity to make contact with the club and see the first team of the men play live in local institutions.
“It is important that touring competitions provide considerable extra income that makes the club stronger, so that we can continue to invest in success on the field. They also create unique opportunities for us to work with our esteemed commercial partners and to deepen relationships with our fans such as Asia and the US.”
Tours after the season are widely criticized in the midst of worries about the players' workload, with Alan Shearer Branding Newcastle and Tottenham's one -time friendly friendly in Australia in Australia shortly after their campaigns ended “madness” last summer.
However, United has been close to breaking the Premier League profit and sustainability rules in recent years. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has implemented a series of cost -saving measures since he has taken control of football activities.
Ratcliffe even claimed last month that United “would have contracted without cash by the end of 2024 if he had not made any big cuts.” I don't like reading the newspaper nowadays, I have to say, “he said BBC Sport.
“I know it is not popular, and this period of change is uncomfortable for people, and some of the decisions we have to make are unpleasant. But they are needed to bring Manchester United to a stable foot again.
“If people want to see Manchester United again winning trophies, we have done all these things. Manchester United would have had without cash anymore by the end of this year – by the end of 2025 – after I had $ 300 million (£ 232.72 million) placed and if we don't buy new players in the summer.
“We are doing change and it is an uncomfortable period and disturbing and I feel sympathy for the fans. The simple answer is that the club no longer has money at Christmas if we don't do those things.
“We are not perfect, and we are traveling, and there have been a few mistakes along the way, but I think all the things we do in general are the right things for the club.”
