MU will make a lot of money if they face Ronaldo

MU's financial picture is not bright.

According to the Telegraph , Manchester United are expected to receive more than 15 million pounds if they agree to participate in a mid-season friendly tournament, called the Riyadh Season Cup, against strong Saudi Arabian teams such as Al Nassr or Al Hilal.

Manchester United are expected to receive around £5m for each match in Saudi Arabia, with additional bonuses if the team wins the tournament, according to sources.

The tour, if it goes ahead, would be a strategic move to capitalise on Manchester United's commercial appeal while also strengthening ties with the booming football market in the Middle East.

However, the final decision on participation is still being carefully considered by the club. Because participating in the mid-season tour will greatly affect the team's performance in the Premier League. Coach Ruben Amorim has complained about having little time to train with the team to hone his playing style.

Going to Saudi Arabia for a friendly tournament during the tense 2025/26 season could affect Manchester United's form.

It is worth remembering that the 2025/26 English football season will be played at an unusually high density, especially in December and January, when the Riyadh Season Cup is scheduled to kick off.

The reason why the 2025/26 English football season will take place with such a high density is because the tournaments have to end early for the 2026 World Cup in North America.
