English Premier League soccer club Manchester United raised its full-year revenue and profit forecast for 2016-17 as it prepares for the Europa League final next week.
United said it expected to report full-year revenue between £560-570m, better than its previous forecast of between £530-540m.
The club also increased its forecast for earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amoritisation (EBITDA) to £185-195m for 2016-17.
Its previous forecast was for a figure of between £170-180m.
"We look forward to a strong finish to 2016-17, both on and off the pitch," the group's executive vice chairman Ed Woodward said.
United are currently only in sixth spot in the 20-team Premier League but have reached the final of the Europa League.
Victory over Ajax Amsterdam in the final on May 24 would be rewarded with a place in next season's Champions League, Europe's most lucrative club competition.
Controlled by the American Glazer family, United have won the English league title a record 20 times but had slipped from their own lofty standards in recent seasons.
However, the club lifted its first title under its new coach Jose Mourinho, winning the League Cup in February by beating Southampton 3-2 at Wembley.
Man Utd's broadcasting revenue grew 12.9% to £31.4m for the quarter ended March 31, primarily due to the impact of the new Premier League broadcasting agreement, the club said.
Total revenue for the quarter grew 3.1% to £127.2m.
However, EBITDA for the three months fell to £30m from a record £44.9m a year earlier.
