Man Utd have €27M riding on Europa League final success

Published on: 14 May 2017

There is almost €27 million riding on Manchester United's Europa League final clash with Ajax.

United's meeting in Stockholm is the club's final shot at Champions League qualification.

And beyond the revenue that will come from next season's campaign, there is the penalty clause in their deal with adidas to navigate.

The contract is worth a massive €88 million annually to United. However, should they fail to reach the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, they will face a 30 per cent penalty - or €26.5 million loss.

Victory in the final will secure Champions League football for United next season - plus a tidy €6.5 million in prize money.

United's run to Stockholm has earned the English giants €40 million.
