The loss to Brighton marked the earliest United have been knocked out of both domestic trophies since the 1981-82 season. Last season, United earned £160.3m in match-day revenue from 30 games, boosted by their journey to the Europa League Final, where they were ultimately defeated by Tottenham Hotspur. Carrick shared the pitch with the Portuguese superstar during the 2000s and later managed Ronaldo during his first stint as caretaker manager back in 2021.
