Manchester United announce debt has SOARED by 133 per cent to £474.1MILLION... but new figures reveal six-month extension with shirt sponsor Chevrolet to secure additional £11m amid backdrop of pandemic

Manchester United have announced that their debt has surpassed £474million after an increase of 133 per cent in the latest round of financial results.

United saw a £23.2m loss accumulated for the 2019-20 season, which was due mainly to 41.9 per cent drop in broadcasting income.

The overall income has taken a huge hit amid the increasing strain of the coronavirus pandemic but an £11m extension with shirt sponsor Chevrolet for another six months is thought to be 'a pragmatic solution for both parties' amid the backdrop of the pandemic.
