IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE
    •    This presentation contains estimates and forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbour provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
         1995. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and estimates with respect to current and future events and trends which affect or may affect
         our business operations. All statements that address future operating, financial or business performance or our strategies or expectations are forward-looking
         statements.
        In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,”
        “intend,” “seek,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “contemplate,” “possible” and other comparable terminology. These statements are subject
        to many risks, uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, which may cause our actual results to be materially different from any
        future results, express or implied, by such statements. Among these factors are (1) our ability to maintain and enhance our brand and reputation; (2) our ability to attract
        and retain key personnel, including players; (3) the performance and popularity of our first team; (4) our ability to properly manage our growth; (5) our ability to
        maintain, train and build an effective international sales and marketing infrastructure; (6) the negotiation and pricing of key media contracts; (7) our ability to maintain
        strong relationship with certain third parties; (8) our ability to deal with competition in Europe and internationally; (9) our ability to adequately protect our intellectual
        property; and (10) the effectiveness of our digital media strategy. Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in Manchester United plc’s
        filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

    •   New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. It should be remembered that the price
        of the Class A ordinary shares and any income from them can go down as well as up. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
        statements, whether as a result of new information, future events and/or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

    •   This presentation contains a discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-IFRS measures and are not uniformly or legally defined financial measures.
        EBITDA is defined as profit/(loss) for the period from continuing operations before net finance costs, tax credit/(expense), depreciation, and amortization of players’
        registrations, and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for profit on disposal of players’ registrations and operating expenses—exceptional items. Adjusted
        EBITDA is included in this presentation because it is a measure of our operating performance and our management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors
        because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries
        similar to ours. We have provided reconciliations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the Appendix to this presentation.
        EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered substitutes for comparable measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as
        determined and measured by us, should also not be compared to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
