Investing.com -- Shares of Manchester United (NYSE:MANU) tumbled 6.1% in extended trading after the team’s defeat in the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur.

The loss, which took place in Bilbao, Spain, is expected to have significant financial repercussions for the club, as it will not qualify for any European competition next season.

The match’s outcome, with Tottenham securing a 1-0 victory, means Manchester United is set to miss out on the lucrative benefits associated with European tournaments. The absence from next season’s UEFA Champions League could notably impact Manchester United’s revenue streams. This includes potential declines in ticket sales, commercial agreements, and the club’s appeal in the transfer market for attracting new talent.

The financial implications of the loss are a key concern for investors, as participation in European competitions is a critical factor for the financial health of football clubs. The ability to compete on an international stage not only boosts direct income from matchday revenues and broadcasting rights but also enhances the club’s global brand and sponsorship deals.
