The figure was up £18.5 million (Rs 143.7 crore) from the £156.5 million (Rs 1215.7 crore) reported over the same period in 2010. The rise was attributed to an increase in matchday revenue from £52.4million (Rs 407.1 crore) to £54.5million (Rs 423.4 crore), media earnings which were up from £53.7million (Rs 417.16) to £60.9million (Rs 473.1 crore) and commercial income, which increased from £50.4million to £58.6million.

United's debts meanwhile were reduced to £439 million (Rs 3410.3 crore) from £508 million (Rs 3946.4 crore) the previous year. The increase in revenues however were offset by a rise in operating costs from £96.9 million (Rs 752.8 crore) to £110.8 million (Rs 860.8 crore).

Net expenditure on players also increased, reflecting the summer signings of David de Gea, Ashley Young and Phil Jones.

Terry suffered the injury after colliding with a goalpost during last month's FA Cup victory over Portsmouth at Stamford Bridge.
