Now the highly respected Swiss Ramble football finance blog has released the prize money gained so far by every club in this season’s Champions League, with United’s share of the pot broken down.
Newcastle received the least of the five Premier League clubs taking part, as clubs with a stronger European record over the last 10 years receiving more in what’s known as the ‘value pillar’.
This is determined by ranking clubs based on the value of a country’s media market, combined with individual clubs’ performances in Europe over the last five and 10 years in UEFA’s coefficient rankings, and equates to 35 per cent of the total amount shared with the 36 clubs.
Each club in the league phase receive £16.1m before any performance-based prize money is allocated.
Newcastle’s four wins and two draws has earned them £16.6m, with £14m from the value pillar adding to a total of £46.7m.
That’s dwarfed by the £84m earned by Manchester City and Liverpool, with Arsenal receiving £83.1m.
Chelsea’s total came in at £79.6m with Tottenham’s thought to be £72.7m.
