Manchester United ‘have breached PSR’ are going to face serious consequences – Terrible news hits Manchester United as Financial expert Stefan Borson confirms that Manchester United are most likely to be victims of serious point deduction.

Manchester United likely breached the profit and sustainability rules (PSR) last season unless they were permitted to offset their exceptional costs.

This is according to former Man City financial advisor Stefan Borson, who told Football Insider that Man United made an operating loss of about £100 million in 2023-24, which could lead to a potential points deduction if they violated the rules.

The Premier League giants reported a £71.4 million net loss for the first three months of 2024. PSR rules state top-flight clubs can lose a maximum of £105 million over a rolling three-year period.

They also incurred £40 million in exceptional costs, £30.3 million of which was related to Sir Jim Ratcliffe buying his 27.7 percent stake in the club in February this year.

Manchester United are forecasting their revenue for 2023-24 to reach a club-record high of £660 million, with adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) expected to be £140 million.

Man United could breach PSR rules if costs are not added back
Borson believes this would mean Erik ten Hag’s side have breached the PSR rules unless they are allowed to add back their exceptional costs.

He told Football Insider: “From the EBITDA number, you deduct the exceptional costs and player amortisation, which could total another £180 million, resulting in an operating loss of about £100 million for the season.

“They are notoriously poor at selling players.

He said: “If you look at a club like Chelsea, they are likely generating around £120 million annually from player sales.

“United probably generated less than £40 million.

“This suggests that, unless they were permitted to add back some of those exceptional costs, they likely breached PSR for the past season.”

“You are not usually allowed to do that, but I think they must have done it because there was no indication that United were scrambling to sell players before June 30.

“You would have to assume they have passed PSR for 2023-24, but how they managed to do it isn’t clear from the numbers.”
