Meanwhile, Manchester United has posted an operating profit of £32.6m for the six months to December 31, 2025, a significant improvement from the £3.9m loss reported for the same period last year. However, the club's debt has risen to £1.29bn, with £295.7m drawn down on their rolling credit facility and £500m in outstanding transfer fee payments (Source: Manchester United).
In Formula 1, the contract landscape is set to undergo significant changes ahead of the 2027 season. With several drivers' contracts expiring, teams are gearing up for a potentially dramatic reshuffle.
