Manchester United have been fined 300,000 euros (\u00a3257,000) by Uefa for a \u201cminor\u201d breach of Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.<\/p>\n

They were one of a number of clubs sanctioned by Uefa under FFP rules in place between 2019 and 2022.<\/p>\n

United said they were \u201cdisappointed by the outcome\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, they added the club accepted the fine \u201cfor what Uefa acknowledges to be a minor technical breach of its previous Financial Fair Play rules\u201d.<\/p>\n

In explaining the reason for the punishment, United continued that \u201cthis reflected a change in the way that Uefa adjusted for Covid-19 losses during the 2022 reporting period, which allowed us to recognise only 15m euros of the 281m euros of revenues lost due to the pandemic within the FFP calculation\u201d.<\/p>\n

Barcelona were also fined 500,000 euros (\u00a3428,000) by European football\u2019s governing body.<\/p>\n

Uefa said the Spanish club was guilty in 2022 of \u201cwrongly reporting \u2026 profits on disposal of intangible assets (other than player transfers) which are not a relevant income under the regulations\u201d.<\/p>\n

AC Milan, Besiktas, Inter Milan, Marseille, Monaco, Paris St-Germain and Roma were found to have complied with FFP rules in 2022 but Uefa said it \u201cwill continue monitoring their compliance with the settlement agreement during next season\u201d.<\/p>\n
