Manchester United ranked 15th in the Premier League and the bonus plummeted! Players are worried about causing injuries in summer

The Premier League has been settled in the 2024/25 season. With the ranking determined, 20 teams will receive the last bonus share determined based on their position. According to the rules, Premier League teams share a bonus of 2.84 billion pounds, which is distributed in 6 times.

Each Premier League club will earn a generous bonus of at least £100 million, each team will receive an equal transfer share of £86.9 million, and each team will also receive a £8.2 million share of the league's commercial income. The bonus is allocated according to the final league ranking, and the facility fee is related to the frequency of TV broadcasts of each club's game. Different teams will have a big gap in these two events.

Liverpool, the Premier League champion team coached by Slott, will naturally get the most. Referring to last season's data, the final champion Manchester City enjoyed a high income of 175.9 million pounds, while the runner-up Arsenal was 175.5 million pounds.

Manchester City received the first prize of £56.4 million at the time, while Sheffield United, which ranked last, had only a basic prize of £2.8 million. This bonus is calculated as follows: the champion's prize is 20 times the basic prize amount, the runner-up is 19 times, and so on.

But Arsenal, who ranked second, was the team with the highest facilities fee, and they had the most broadcasts of games, so they received £26.9 million.

These figures are expected to remain roughly the same this season, and the specific amount will eventually be determined until the league releases its annual report, which will specify the specific income of each club. What is certain is that the Premier League is still the richest football league in the world. Deloitte's latest annual football financial assessment shows that 20 clubs in the 2022/2023 season generate more than £6 billion in annual revenue for the first time.

Manchester United finally ranked 15th in the Premier League, a sharp drop from last year's 8th place, with an estimated bonus falling from 36.7 million pounds to 16.9 million pounds, a difference of nearly 20 million pounds.

Therefore, a few hours after defeating Villa on Sunday, Manchester United players had to squeeze out their smiles and board the plane to Malaysia, first play a business game in Kuala Lumpur, and then switch to Hong Kong, China for another game, bringing the club £8 million to £10 million in revenue. But that's not what some players want at the end of the Premier League season, and there are already voices of dissatisfaction, fearing that this will bring potential injuries to next season.

"Competition Network" disclosed that Manchester United will travel a total of nearly 40,000 kilometers in the tournament at both ends of the earth this summer!

In fact, the plan after the end of this season and before the start of the new season caused controversy last year. At the time coach Ten Hager believed that it would be better to stay closer to England from a sports perspective and asked to seriously consider preseason in Europe.

However, others in the club have suggested that if the team wants a virtuous cycle, they cannot only consider competition, because now the football world is not worthless. Ultimately, business demand won. United signed a summer series contract to play in Chicago, New Jersey and Atlanta this summer, and then went even further, promising to make their first postseason journey in team history.

Manchester United's business department senior management pointed out that the vacancies that the ranking bonus decreased by £20 million and the vacancy needs to be filled. But players may strike back saying that Jim Ratcliffe wasted £14.1 million in sacks of Tenhager and Ashworth during the season, and the tour was scheduled in January, far ahead of Manchester United's final ranking results.

Manchester United also knew that players might not be satisfied with the busy schedule, so they booked the next Airbus A350 to Asia to ensure that players can stretch their bodies during a 15-hour journey. They can also relax with professional massage at W Kuala Lumpur, where they stay in Asia.

But from the perspective of preventing injuries, this long journey was naturally not perfect. According to the arrangement, the three players will be separated from the main team and go to India alone for a pure commercial visit, with the Red Devils competing to go. Because this means that the mission can be completed earlier, and South Asia is closer to Dubai, the family resort they often visit. Andre Onana, Maguire and Diogu Dalo were lucky to be selected.
