Manchester United Faces Cash Crunch Despite Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Investment

Manchester United plc (NYSE:MANU) is one of billionaire Leon Cooperman’s top stock picks with huge upside potential. Despite Sir Jim Ratcliffe contributing £238.5 million since becoming a minority owner, Manchester United plc (NYSE:MANU)’s cash reserves dropped to £73.2 million in the third quarter, as reported on June 6.

Manchester United plc’s (NYSE:MANU) most recent financial figures show that during the three months leading up to the end of March, the club’s cash reserves decreased by £22.5 million. According to the company’s third-quarter figures, they are still able to borrow up to £90 million in cash through their revolving credit facility. This could assist in paying for transfer expenditures, but it would increase their debt load by £713.2 million.

As the club’s management seeks to support head coach Ruben Amorim with the acquisitions of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, United’s financial situation is expected to become a complicating factor during a crucial summer transfer window.

Manchester United plc (NYSE:MANU) owns and operates the Manchester United Football Club, a professional sports team with its headquarters in the United Kingdom.
