Post: Manchester United earns 7.5 million pounds from Premier League preseason, some teams oppose the game

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United earned 7.5 million pounds from the Premier League summer preseason. The Post reported that many Premier League clubs are increasingly dissatisfied with the summer preseason held in the United States and may even ask for cancellation. Some team officials are angry that the event relies on central funds to support the event, and they believe that teams that do not participate should not hand over the money to the participating teams. In addition, it was revealed that the first preseason two years ago had a net loss of 5.4 million pounds. Premier League insiders believe that this year's preseason will suffer losses again, but the losses are lower than the level two years ago.

This year, Manchester United, Everton, West Ham and Bournemouth participated in the event in the United States, which aims to expand the international market. As the club has a larger share of the international market, Manchester United is expected to earn the most from participating teams, about £7.5 million. The Premier League uses business partners to sponsor the event, and although some people believe that the event will be difficult to attract title sponsors, the Premier League strongly denies it. The Premier League will also charge hosting fees to participating cities, but the difference will be compensated by sponsors.

Nowadays, some people think this situation is difficult to maintain and plan to discuss the matter at the next Premier League shareholders' meeting in September. "They expect teams that are not involved will invest £250,000, and that should not happen," said a well-informed person. However, any attempt to stop the event may be strongly opposed. Although the Premier League declined to comment, industry insiders believe that most clubs have expressed support and are eager to participate.

While all parties acknowledge that the event currently requires central funding, they believe that the event will promote the development of the Premier League and thus help it achieve its annual revenue target of £4 billion. Sources also pointed out that a total of 10 clubs participated in the previous two events and the budget has been signed by each club.

The organizers originally hoped that other giants would participate in the competition besides Manchester United, but Manchester City and Chelsea participated in the Club World Cup, with Liverpool and Arsenal playing preseason elsewhere. It is understood that Bournemouth beat Everton has about 10,000 spectators, while Manchester United beat West Ham has increased to about 50,000.
