Manchester United left red-faced as latest financial results are released 24 hours EARLY in error as US company hired by Premier League side published figures during a test run
Manchester United‘s financial results were released a day early on Thursday night, thanks to an error by a US-based company the club uses.
Details for the first quarter were meant to be published to the New York Stock Exchange at noon today.
However, sources say that Toppan Merrill, who United task with publishing regulatory filings in the US, made an error with what was meant to be a test run and accidentally put the financials into the public domain.
Their mistake caused a headache at Old Trafford, with the club forced into action.
The figures show the devastation caused by the Covid pandemic with commercial, matchday and total revenues hit. United, who posted an operating loss of £27.1m, have however, been encouraged by the renewal of three sponsorship deals and record e-commerce sales.
