Exhibit 99.1

RECORD SECOND QUARTER REVENUE OF £122.9 MILLION.

· SPONSORSHIP REVENUE FOR THE SECOND QUARTER INCREASED 39.4%.

· YEAR-TO-DATE ADJUSTED NET INCOME UP 19.6%.

MANCHESTER, U.K. — 12 February 2014 — Manchester United (NYSE: MANU; the “Company” and the “Group”) — one of the most popular and successful sports teams in the world - today announced financial results for the 2014 fiscal second quarter and six months ended 31 December 2013.

Highlights

· Commercial revenues of £42.3 million up 18.8% for the quarter and 30.0% for the year to date.

· Six new sponsorship deals activated in the second quarter —Unilever and Hong Kong Jockey Club (regional); Banif Bank (financial services); Fuji TV and SPOTV Korea (MUTV) and STC (mobile).

· Broadcasting revenues increased 18.7% for the quarter primarily due to the new FAPL domestic and international TV rights agreements.

Commentary

Ed Woodward, Executive Vice Chairman commented, “We once again achieved a record revenue quarter with strong contributions from our commercial and broadcasting businesses despite the current league position, which everyone from the Team Manager down has acknowledged is disappointing. We continue to see meaningful opportunities to grow our commercial business and the popularity of football on TV is leading to continued broadcasting revenue growth — all of which bodes well for the long-term stability and financial strength of our business. We are also very pleased to have added a world class player in Juan Mata to our squad, who has already made a positive impact.”

Outlook

For fiscal 2014, Manchester United continues to expect:

· Revenue to be £420m to £430m.

· Adjusted EBITDA to be £128m to £133m.

Revenue Analysis

Commercial

Commercial revenue for the second quarter was £42.3 million, an increase of £6.7 million, or 18.8%, over the prior year quarter.

· Sponsorship revenue for the second quarter was £29.0 million, an increase of £8.2 million, or 39.4%, primarily due to higher renewals and the activation of new global and regional sponsorships.

· Retail, Merchandising, Apparel & Product Licensing revenue for the second quarter was £9.1 million, a decrease of £0.4 million. For the year to date, revenue was £19.8 million, an increase of £0.9 million, or 4.8%.

· New Media & Mobile revenue for the second quarter was £4.2 million, a decrease of £1.1 million, due to the expiration of a few of our mobile partnerships.

Broadcasting

Broadcasting revenue for the second quarter was £46.9 million, an increase of £7.4 million, or 18.7%, over the prior year quarter, due to increased revenue from the Premier League domestic and international rights agreements, partly offset by one fewer Premier League game, and increases in share of UEFA Champions League fixed pool distributions as we finished 1st in the Premier League in season 2012/13 compared to 2nd in the 2011/12 season.

Matchday

Matchday revenue for the second quarter was £33.7 million, a decrease of £1.3 million, or 3.7%, over the prior year quarter, primarily due to playing one fewer home Premier League game, partly offset by one more Capital One cup game.

Other Financial Information

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses for the second quarter were £87.7 million, an increase of £14.5 million, or 19.8%, over the prior year quarter.

Staff costs

Staff costs for the second quarter were £51.6 million, an increase of £7.4 million, or 16.7%, primarily due to the impact of player acquisitions and renegotiated player contracts.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses for the second quarter were £20.3 million, an increase of £4.6 million, or 29.3% primarily due to foreign exchange losses and an increase in domestic cup gate share expenses from having one home domestic cup game in the second quarter (none in the prior year quarter).

Depreciation & amortisation of players’ registrations

Depreciation for the second quarter was £2.1 million, an increase of £0.3 million, or 16.7%, over the prior year quarter. Amortisation of players’ registrations was £13.4 million, an increase of £2.7 million, or 25.2%, over the prior year quarter. The unamortised balance of players’ registrations at 31 December 2013 was £132.1 million.

Exceptional items

Exceptional items for the second quarter of £0.3 million related to investment property impairment charges. Exceptional items for the prior year quarter were £0.8 million and related to professional advisor fees in connection with our initial public offering.

Net finance costs

Net finance costs for the second quarter were £5.7 million, a decrease of £3.5 million, or 38.0%, over the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in interest payable on our secured borrowings following the refinancing in June 2013.

Tax

The tax expense for the second quarter was £11.3 million, compared to an expense of £12.2 million in the prior year quarter. There have been no changes to the estimates and judgements in relation to the valuation of deferred tax assets since the June 2013 year end.

Cash flows

Net cash used in operating activities for the second quarter was £3.7 million, a decrease of £29.1 million from £25.4 million net cash generated in the prior year quarter, primarily due to adverse movements in working capital.

Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment for the second quarter was £2.8 million, a decrease of £3.1 million from the prior year quarter.

Net player capital expenditure for the second quarter was £3.4 million, a decrease of £1.0 million from the prior year quarter.

These statements often include words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “seek,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “contemplate,” “possible” or similar expressions. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on our current expectations and estimates of future events and trends, which affect or may affect our businesses and operations. You should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions.

Non-IFRS Measures: Definitions and Use

1. Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as profit for the period before depreciation, amortisation of, and profit on disposal of, players’ registrations, exceptional items, net finance costs, and tax credit.

We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful as a measure of comparative operating performance from period to period and among companies as it is reflective of changes in pricing decisions, cost controls and other factors that affect operating performance, and it removes the effect of our asset base (primarily depreciation and amortisation), capital structure (primarily finance costs), and items outside the control of our management (primarily taxes). Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under IFRS as issued by the IASB. A reconciliation of profit for the period to adjusted EBITDA is presented in supplemental note 2.

2. Adjusted profit for the period (i.e. adjusted net income)

Adjusted profit for the period is the adjusted profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent, calculated, where appropriate, by adding the profit for the period attributable to non-controlling interest to the profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent, adjusting for material charges related to the IPO, the repurchase of senior secured notes, foreign exchange losses/gains on US dollar denominated bank accounts and borrowings, the fair value movements on derivative financial instruments, and hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges, adding/(subtracting) the actual tax expense/(credit) for the period, subtracting the adjusted tax expense for the period (based on an normalized tax rate of 35%; 2012: 35%) and subtracting the profit for the period attributable to non-controlling interest. The normalized tax rate of 35% is management’s estimate of the tax rate likely to be applicable to the Group in the long-term.

We believe that in assessing the comparative performance of the business, in order to get a clearer view of the underlying financial performance of the business, it is useful to strip out the distorting effects of material charges related to ‘one-off’ transactions such as the IPO (including the associated recognition of deferred tax assets or liabilities) and repurchase of senior secured notes, plus the impact of foreign exchange reflected in the retranslation of the US dollar denominated bank accounts and borrowings, the fair value movement on derivative financial instruments, and hedge ineffectiveness on cash flow hedges; and then to apply a ‘normalized’ tax rate (for both the current and prior periods) of the US statutory rate of 35%. A reconciliation of profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent to adjusted profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent is presented in supplemental note 3.

3. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share

Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the adjusted profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period, and is presented in supplemental note 3.
