Manchester United's Champions League run and new sponsorship deals have put the club on course for a bumper financial season.
The club today announced significant rises in income and profits for the three-month period ending December 2012.
Six new sponsorship deals have seen commercial revenues rise 29.0% compared to the same period in 2011.
It puts United on course to put last year's overall revenue fall - caused by early exits in the Champions League and FA Cup - behind them.
