United score a half a billion bonus
United have broken the revenue record for a UK club
Manchester United have become the first English club to earn more than half a billion pounds in a single year, having announced a total revenue of #515.3million.
Life at Old Trafford was often uncomfortable during the 2015-16 campaign, with FA Cup glory unable to save manager Louis van Gaal's job.
A fifth-place finish in the Premier League saw United miss out on Champions League qualification, but matters away from the pitch were far more successful as they made a record total revenue of #515.3m.
The club's accounts up until 30 June 2016 confirmed the widely-expected news that they had become the first British club to break the half-billion mark, but it is short of Barcelona's Eur679million (#570million) revenue announced in July.
