Read what will happen to Man Utd if they fail to qualify for Champions League football next season

Manchester United’s possible failure to qualify for the Champions League next season could have a damaging impact on the incoming revenue for the club.

Assistant Ryan Gigg and Manager Louis van Gaal of Manchester United look on during a Premier League match between United and Sunderland.

For starters, United will lose over £30million in broadcast revenue for failing to qualify for the Champions League while that there will be a 30 per cent cut in the Adidas deal.

The Red Devils sit in fifth position in the Premier League going into Sunday’s final round of fixture, two points adrift of rivals Manchester City.

However, the Blues’ far superior goal difference means they only need a point at Swansea to secure fourth spot, while United must rely on the Welsh side causing an upset, while beating Bournemouth at Old Trafford.

According to the Mirror UK, executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward confirmed the potential loss in a call to investors on Friday as United announced their financial results for the third quarter.

Woodward made no mention of under-fire manager Louis van Gaal in a statement, following the announcement of the results.

He said: “The conclusion to this year’s season demonstrates once again why the Premier League is the most popular league in the most popular sport.

“As we reflect on our season, we are delighted by the emergence of yet another crop of exciting young players that demonstrate once again our terrific track record of youth development.

“We are looking forward to the FA Cup final on May 21st and hopefully winning this special trophy for a record equaling twelve times.”
