Manchester United are preparing to rake in a fortune once again next season following their qualification for the Champions League.
Erik ten Hag guided the Reds to a third place finish in the Premier League, securing a spot in the group stages of the elite European competition. And with that comes added riches.
Before the Reds play a match the 2023-24 addition, they will bank roughly £13.48m just for qualifying. United will then earn £2.4m for every match won in the group stage, a significant jump from the £551,460 per victory in the group stages of this season's Europa League.
United banked just under £10million from their run to the last eight of the second tier competition this season. A spot in the last 16 of the Champions League would earn an £8.2m windfall. Reaching the quarter-finals brings £9.1m while £10.7m is on offer for semi-final appearance while £13.3m is given to each finalist with an added £3.8m to the winner.

These figures do not include added extras United will receive in TV revenue and matchday ticket sales. It will be a welcome boost to their income compared with playing n the Europa League.
Ten Hag will hope to receive some of these additional funds to boost his transfer budget. Last summer, United spent big bringing in the likes of Casemiro and Antony. MEN Sport understands the United boss is keen to target a centre-forward and goalkeeper this time around.
