Manchester United raised annual ⁠revenue and core profit forecast for the year ‌to June, helped by a ‌third-place finish in ‌the English Premier League and ‌fans snapping up ‌merchandise as the team's fortunes improved on the ‌pitch.

Still, United reported a ⁠net ‌loss of £11.8 million for ​its fiscal third quarter, wider than a ​year earlier, weighed by falling sponsorship revenue and ⁠weaker ​ticket sales.

The club's return to the Champions League is expected to boost revenue ‌next fiscal year as it benefits from lucrative broadcast rights and new sponsorship deals. For the latest quarter, sponsorship revenue was down 9.4%.

"We feel very positive about the ‌club's progress this ​season and the continuing positive ‌impact of our business transformation initiatives," CEO Omar Berrada said in a statement.
