    Manchester United have reported a net loss of £113.2m in the year to 30 June, their latest accounts show.

    It follows losses of £28.7m in 2022-23 and £115.5m in 2021-22, and their latest figures take total losses over the past five years to over £370m.

    Despite the results, United are not expected to breach the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules because not all spending goes against their calculations and clubs can claim allowances known as "add backs".

    Under Premier League rules, clubs cannot lose more than £105m over a three-year period and Everton and Nottingham Forest received points deductions for being in breach.

    "The club remains committed to, and in compliance with, both the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules and Uefa's Financial Fair Play regulations," said United chief executive Omar Berrada.

  6. 'It looks like a muscle injury' - Koeman on Akepublished at 11:06 11 September

    Netherlands boss Ronald Koeman has said the issue that forced Nathan Ake to be taken off on a stretcher during the Nations League draw with Germany in Amsterdam "looks like a muscle injury".

    Manchester City defender Ake was carried off on the stroke of half-time after picking up what appeared to be a hamstring problem.

    Koeman added that further tests were needed to diagnose the injury.

    Ake, 29, made his first Premier League appearance of the season for Pep Guardiola's side in the 3-1 win at West Ham just before the international break, coming on as a late substitute.

    "It looks like a muscle injury for Nathan, though I am not certain," Koeman said post-match.
