  "summary": "Manchester United has reported a seventh consecutive annual loss, with net losses increasing to £43 million for the year ending June 30. Despite this, the club achieved record revenues of £677.6 million. According to City AM, the losses have now totalled over £430m since 2019.\n\nThe club's chief executive, Omar Berrada, stated that they are \"pleased to have secured record revenues and adjusted EBITDA\" and that they will continue to take a \"disciplined approach to ensure our finances remain sustainable.\" Manchester United has forecast higher revenue for the 2027 fiscal year, expecting to earn between £740 million and £760 million.\n\nThe club's minority owner, British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, has implemented cost-cutting measures, including job cuts and ticket price increases, to try to revive profitability. City AM reported that Manchester United paid £8.2m in exceptional items, mostly related to the sacking of manager Ruben Amorim in January.",
