How much Manchester United and Man City earned in Premier League prize money

Manchester United and Manchester City could not have had more contrasting seasons but how much have both clubs earned?

Pep Guardiola's team enjoyed a 4-1 victory on the final day of the campaign which ensured that Man City retained their Premier League title.

United, however, suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to already-relegated Cardiff City.

Every year, the Premier League’s prize money is divided among its 20 clubs - with each side taking home an equal share of £80.4 million no matter where they finished in the league.

The rest is decided on where your team finished and, ultimately, how well they did in comparison to their opponents.

Each team also has an opportunity to earn TV revenue on top of that, where hosting live games earns your side more money.

In terms of league positions, just under £2m is earned for every place higher up the ladder.

The Red Devils landed just under £10m less than their rivals City for finishing sixth in comparison to the Blues winning the title.

Man City should thank Manchester United great Sir Alex Ferguson
