Manchester United are still on course to hit huge financial milestone, despite average season

It's not been one of Manchester United's more memorable seasons to date, yet the club remains on course to earn more than £500m in the space of a year - something no other British club has managed to do.

The club's executive vice-chairman, Ed Woodward, announced on Thursday that the club's revenue in the three months to December 21 rose by 26.6% to a staggering £133.8m. Commercial revenue at United has soared by 42.5% to £66.1m while broadcast revenue increased by 31.3%. "Our solid results off the pitch help contribute to what remains our number one priority - success on the pitch," Woodward said. As well as this, it was also noted that the club's debt is now £322.1m.
