The Business Of
Man United | What Do They Do?
Happy Monday All!
Welcome to Week 3 of The Business Of newsletter. We hope you had a lovely weekend and are ready to get stuck into another business model!
Not sure this company needs much of an explanation…
… so I’ll just put in a few photos below.
The Week Ahead…
Whilst Man United is one of the most well known sporting brands in the world, it’s easy to ignore the business element of the club. After all, Man United is a publicly listed stock on the New York Stock Exchange. So this week, we’re going to have a lot of fun going through…
how the club makes money,
what their costs are,
what they do with their profits and,
finally looking at how the business of football is changing.
In addition, this Friday we have a very special Career Talk, exploring Law and we’ll be hearing from my friend, Anand Patel, Managing Associate @ Linklaters (https://www.linkedin.com/in/anand-patel-14865b32/).
Since graduating from the University of Oxford in 2012, Anand has worked at Linklaters in their Competition/Antitrust team, and has recently carved out more of a specialty in the Sports industry. This Friday he’ll be talking about…
how he got into law,
what his competition law team actually do,
advice he’d give to students who are interested in law, and,
how Linklaters would work with a football club like Man United.
First Giveaway!
We’re into the third week of The Business Of newsletter and we wanted to say a big thanks to everyone for their support. And because of how interesting we think this week’s newsletters are going to be, we’re having our first giveaway!
So what’s the giveaway? Well, if you heard the first career talk, you would have heard Upen recommend a book that contributed massively to his progress - Atomic Habits by James Clear. A book that’s all about building good habits. So we thought… why not give it away! So that’s what’s happening!
