Manchester United's defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final on Wednesday has immediate and long-term financial consequences, with the club missing out on lucrative European football opportunities.

Suffering a 1-0 loss, United has failed to qualify for the Champions League and the subsequent UEFA Super Cup, eliminating potential earnings of up to 150 million euros. This setback compounds the club's need to address broader financial challenges.

Owned by the Glazer family and British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe, the club now faces potential non-compliance with Premier League financial fair play regulations, posing severe risks to its future competitiveness.
