Cytat:Manchester United have announced a huge revenue increase and reduction in overall debt in the last six months of 2011.

United, who are bidding for Premier League and Europa League glory, reported a revenue increase to £175 million - up from £156.5 million for the same period in 2010. Much of that revenue has been generated by increased matchday income, which rose from £52.4m to £54.5m, media revenue - up from £53.7m to £60.9m, and commercial revenue, which has risen to £58.6m from £50.4m.

The Glazer family have been criticised for the amount of debt that the club have been in since their takeover in 2005, but that figure is on the way down from £508m to £439m. The reason behind the decrease in the club's debt is because United have bought back some of the bonds that were sold as part of a £500m refinancing exercise at the start of 2010.

United also reported a steep rise in operating costs from £96.9m to £110.8m.

Net player capital expenditure jumped from £11.7million £47.9m due to the summer signings of David de Gea, Ashley Young and Phil Jones.

The figures show United currently have a bank balance of £50.9m.
