Shirt sales drive United revenue to record high

Manchester United will today announce record revenues of around £420 million (€523m) for last season with a £25m (€31.1m) profit helped by sales of two million replica shirts worldwide.

The annual results should also include details of pay-offs to former manager David Moyes and his coaching team, but the figures will not reflect any financial losses incurred from failing to qualify for Europe.

The key results have already been flagged up in a prospectus released in August for a new release of shares on the New York Stock Exchange.
