Although we need to get in touch with their accountants - operating profit of £100m yet they only paid £2.6m in taxes
Manchester United reports loss of £80m
Manchester United has reported an annual pre-tax loss of £79.6m, hit by interest payments and reduced revenues from the sale of players.
The loss for the 12 months to 30 June compares with a profit of £48m for the year before, when revenues were boosted by the £80m sale of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The club's interest payments on bank debt for the past year totalled £40m.
Manchester United also saw a fall in match-day turnover, but this was offset by its commercial earnings.
Its overall annual turnover increased to £286.4m.
The club's operating profit also rose, reaching £100.8m, compared with £92m a year earlier.
