What this company does

Manchester United plc operates its business as a single reporting segment comprising the operation of professional sports teams. Its stadium, Old Trafford, seats 74,233 supporters, including accessible platforms accommodating 556 disabled supporters. It reviews its revenue through three principal sectors: Commercial, Broadcasting and Matchday. Within the Commercial sector, it commercializes its brand through two revenue streams, sponsorship and retail, merchandising, apparel and product licensing. Broadcasting revenue is derived from global television rights relating to the Premier League, UEFA club competitions and other competitions. The substantial majority of its tickets are sold to general admission and executive season ticket holders, most of whom pay for all their tickets in advance of the first game of the season. Its men's team was founded in 1878 as Newton Heath L&YR Football Club and has operated for over 147 years.
