Man United receives surprise bonus before match with Kim Sang-sik's team

Man United ended the 2024-2025 Premier League season with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford on the evening of May 25. This result helped the "Red Devils" rise to 15th place overall in the rankings.

After this match, Man United soon moved to Malaysia for the Asian tour with the opening match against ASEAN All-Stars. Coach Amorim and his team arrived in Malaysia 3 hours later than expected.

In parallel, Man Utd was announced to receive only 16.9 million pounds in bonuses from the Premier League organizers, a decrease from last season to 19.5 million pounds for 8th place (36.4 million pounds). This serious decrease in bonuses will significantly affect the team's financial situation next season.

This season, the total tournament money divided among the 20 participating clubs is £2.84 billion, based on six different categories.

A large portion of this comes from television rights revenue of £86.9m, which is split evenly between each team. Teams also receive an additional £8.2m from the league's general commercial pool.

In addition, teams are awarded additional bonuses based on their rankings and the number of matches broadcast. Specifically, Liverpool received £56.4 million, Arsenal £53.5 million and Manchester City £50.7 million for their achievements this season.

On May 28, Man United will face the ASEAN All-Stars at Bukit Jalil National Stadium, Kuala Lumpur - one of the largest stadiums in Asia with a capacity of up to 85,000 seats.

The ASEAN All-Stars team is led by coach Kim Sang-sik, relying on the consensus of the 12 members of the federation. However, the Korean strategist is facing difficulties when the list was reduced from 18 players to 16. Of which, the Vietnamese team contributed 4 faces.
