Manchester United to become first team to earn £1billion in Premier League prize money despite disappointing sixth place finish

Manchester United will this week become the first club to break the £1billion barrier in prize money from the Premier League.

The revamped top division concludes a 25th season on Sunday and United’s 20 English titles include 13 in the Premier League era.

By the end of last season, United had collected £870.3m in prize payments. They are expected to collect about £144m this season - for finishing in sixth place - to take their total to £1.014bn.
