the prize pot this season is a whopping \u00a31.74billion.<\/p>\n<p>But unfortunately United will be receiving precious little of that now.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ll get the base level \u00a313.43million for being in the group stage just like the other 31 teams involved.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/13\/12\/78910695-12859227-image-m-48_1702470988918.jpg\" height=\"609\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Erik ten Hag&#8217;s team performed poorly throughout the group stage<\/p>\n<p>UEFA dish out \u00a32.41m for each group stage victory and \u00a3801,000 for every group stage draw but given United have won just once and drawn once, they pocket a meagre \u00a33.22m.<\/p>\n<p>They will receive a share of the \u00a3258m payout from broadcast revenue but it&#8217;s difficult to put a precise figure on that because it varies from country to country.<\/p>\n<p>Half of this is paid out in proportion to the number of matches each club plays, so dropping out the Champions League early obviously limits this.<\/p>\n<p>To give an idea, Manchester City&#8217;s latest financial figures, incorporating their 2022-23 Treble-winning season, showed a \u00a350.4m increase in broadcast revenue earned to \u00a3299.4m.<\/p>\n<p>Their progress to the Champions League final accounted for most of this.<\/p>\n<p>Some 30 per cent of the prize money &#8211; around \u00a3517m &#8211; is determined by UEFA&#8217;s coefficient, which ranks club&#8217;s European performances over a 10-year span.<\/p>\n<p>Their algorithm ranks the group stage participants from No 1 down to No 32 &#8211; with bonus points awarded for European trophies actually won &#8211; and the money is doled out in shares depending on performance.<\/p>\n<p>The team ranked No 32 gets about \u00a3982,000, while the top-ranked club can expect about \u00a331.3m.<\/p>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid top the coefficient by some distance having won the Champions League five times since the 2013-14 season.<\/p>\n<p>Across the decade, United come in at No 11 but would be elevated to position No 8 this season because three clubs ranked above them &#8211; Juventus, Chelsea and Liverpool &#8211; aren&#8217;t in the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, United can expect to receive around \u00a324.5m from the coefficient pot.<\/p>\n<p>However, it goes without saying that their early exit &#8211; not to mention pretty shoddy Champions League performance over the past 10 years (only two quarter-final appearances) will keep catching up with them as the years go by.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/13\/12\/78902995-12859227-image-a-49_1702471090978.jpg\" height=\"435\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>United have seen \u00a328million come out of their transfer budget after exiting after the group<\/p>\n<p><span>And how much will they now miss out on?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the aforementioned broadcast revenue and matchday income from the huge knockout games at Old Trafford, United will miss out on a tranche of prize money.<\/p>\n<p>They will get about \u00a316m from the group but it&#8217;s during the knockout stages that the performance-based prize money &#8211; accounting for 55 per cent of UEFA&#8217;s \u00a31.74bn purse &#8211; really ramps up.<\/p>\n<p>Making it into the last-16 would have added \u00a38.26m and reaching the quarter-finals an extra \u00a39.13m.<\/p>\n<p>And if we really want to delve into the realms of fantasy, a semi-final appearance would have added \u00a310.76m and reaching the Wembley final a guaranteed \u00a313.34m.<\/p>\n<p>The Champions League winners get \u00a317.21m as well as the shiny trophy.<\/p>\n<p>Again using City as an example, their Champions League success pocketed them about \u00a395m in performance prize money last season.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there&#8217;s passage to the UEFA Super Cup final against the Europa League winners, which can earn you a further \u00a33.87m if you win that.<\/p>\n<p>Also, you go into FIFA&#8217;s Club World Cup but given that&#8217;s about to morph into something much bigger and bolder, we can&#8217;t yet speculate on prize money there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/13\/12\/78911003-12859227-image-a-57_1702471249117.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Manchester City&#8217;s Champions League success last season earned them in the region of \u00a395m<\/p>\n<p><span>What would United have earned in the Europa League?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>United finished bottom of Group A and so don&#8217;t even drop into the Europa League after Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>Although Thursday night football isn&#8217;t much loved, it&#8217;s probably closer to United&#8217;s standard right now and failing to get into it as a consolation prize means they miss out on some cash too.<\/p>\n<p>The difference in prize money between the Champions League and Europa League is stark but nonetheless helps the balance sheet.<\/p>\n<p>United would have received \u00a3430,000 just for dropping into the competition, which would have meant a play-off in February.<\/p>\n<p>The prize money distribution follows the same model as the Champions League with shares for broadcasting and coefficients, but the main chunk is based on performance.<\/p>\n<p>Getting to the last-16 \u00a31.03m, the quarter-finals \u00a31.55m, the semi-finals \u00a32.41m and the final \u00a33.96m. Winning the Europa League, as United did in 2017, gets you \u00a37.4m.<\/p>\n<p>But as you can see, it&#8217;s nothing like as much as playing in the Champions League.

It&#8217;s little wonder that United make reference to Champions League income in their financial statements and it does make a difference if they qualify or not.<\/p>\n<p>The next set of financial results will be fine because obviously they&#8217;ve played in Europe&#8217;s top competition this season &#8211; albeit badly.<\/p>\n<p>But a failure to finish in the top four (or five &#8211; more on that later) this season would really have an impact.<\/p>\n<p>Champions League football hasn&#8217;t been guaranteed for United in the recent past and their latest set of financial data, for the 2022-23 season showed a loss of \u00a328.7m despite record revenues of \u00a3648.4m.<\/p>\n<p>While that loss was an improvement on the previous year&#8217;s deficit of \u00a3115.5m they would likely have been in profit had they been in the Champions League rather than the Europa League last season.<\/p>\n<p>Broadcasting revenue is an area where the drop-off is especially sharp.<\/p>\n<p>United&#8217;s combined broadcasting and matchday revenue related to European competitions was \u00a375m in the financial year ending June 2022, \u00a373.8m up to June 2021 and \u00a320.9m up to June 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Even factoring in closed stadiums because of Covid-19, it doesn&#8217;t take a genius to figure out their non-Champions League campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, their financial update in December 2022 recorded a decrease in broadcasting revenue of \u00a327.6m over a three-month period from 12 months earlier. They were in the Europa League.<\/p>\n<p>So it can make all the difference between being in the black and being in the red.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/13\/12\/78911027-12859227-image-a-59_1702471404985.jpg\" height=\"402\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The prestige of the Champions League ensures large crowds at Old Trafford and more revenue<\/p>\n<p><span>Will this failure affect their big sponsorship deals?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Not this season but a continued failure to qualify for the Champions League will.<\/p>\n<p>The 10-year, \u00a3750m shirt deal they signed with Adidas from 2015-16 onwards includes a clause that reduces the annual payment by 30 per cent if they don&#8217;t make the Champions League two seasons in a row.<\/p>\n<p>The annual payment would therefore fall from \u00a375m to \u00a352.5m, though the reduction is not immediate but instead phased throughout the remainder of the deal.<\/p>\n<p>That hasn&#8217;t happened as yet, however, but United have agreed a new \u00a3900m deal with Adidas from 2025 which contains a similar clause.<\/p>\n<p>United would lose \u00a310m a year for every season they fail to reach the Champions League, potentially knocking \u00a3100m off the value of the deal.<\/p>\n<p>So the pressure is really on to keep making it into the top competition.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/13\/12\/78911049-12859227-image-a-60_1702471487579.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>United agreed a lucrative \u00a3900m kit deal with Adidas until 2035 &#8211; but it contains a clause that means United receive less if they&#8217;re not in the Champions League<\/p>\n<p><span>What about player salaries?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Again, not immediately but if they fail to make next season&#8217;s Champions League there will be another knock-on effect.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, United players see their salaries drop by 25 per cent when they fail to qualify for the Champions League.
