The poor performance does not affect it, Foden and Maguire make money off the court

Although Manchester City and Manchester United performed poorly last season, Phil Foden and Harry Maguire made a lot of money with off-court commercial endorsements and investments.

Folden: The young and promising "money printing machine"

The 25-year-old Manchester City midfielder core Phil Foden has currently estimated his personal net worth exceeding 10 million pounds. In addition to his high salary of £225,000 per week from Manchester City, he also earned an additional £67,000 per week through his personal image rights. In addition, Foden is also actively investing in real estate investment. The total cash and investment amount of its company Rondog Sports Limited in 2024 reached 7.8 million pounds, a significant increase from 4.3 million pounds in the previous year.

With its huge public influence, Foden has made great profits from jersey sales, sneaker endorsements and various souvenirs. He not only signed a long-term contract with Manchester City until 2027, but also reached an exclusive sneaker cooperation with the world-renowned sports brand Nike, further expanding its commercial territory.

Maguire: Investment in the "Iron Gate"

Although Maguire, 32, has been controversial on the court, his performance in the business field is quite impressive. The company he owns, HM5 Ltd, is valued at £8 million, a significant increase from the previous £6.4 million. In addition, he earns about £10 million annually at Manchester United and spends £5 million of that for real estate investments - which is exactly what he believes is the safest and sustainable way to add value.

The mixed joys and sorrows on the court

Although they have gained a lot of financially, the performance of the two on the court was not ideal. Although Foden has made many contributions, Manchester City was eliminated by Saudi team Riyadh Crescent 4-3 in the quarterfinals of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup and stopped in the quarterfinals.

And at Old Trafford, Maguire's form has rebounded. He scored a key goal in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, helping Manchester United narrowly defeat Lyon 5-4 (7-6 in total). However, the Red Devils failed to win the championship in the final and lost to Tottenham Hotspur 0-1 in the Europa League, and passed the trophy again.
