Manchester United ‘to seek’ mid-season friendly to raise funds after cup exits

Manchester United are exploring a mid-season friendly to bring in extra income after their domestic cup exits, with matchday revenue projected to be more than £50m, about €58m, lower without European competition, according to The Telegraph.
It has been an eventful season.
United went out of the League Cup in August, losing in the second round to fourth-tier Grimsby Town after a 2-2 draw, 11-12 on penalties.
On Sunday at Old Trafford they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Brighton, beaten 1-2.
Since then the club have addressed the dugout, and former midfielder Michael Carrick will take over from Ruben Amorim.
