Manchester United have posted revenues of £135.4m for the first quarter of 2019-20.
The figures represent a £400,000 increase on the same period for the previous year.
Commercial revenue was £80.4m, a 5.9% increase on the previous year, the club said in a financial statement.
United are expecting 2020 annual revenue to be down this year to somewhere between £560-580m, compared to £627.1m for the year ending 30 June, 2019.
In part that will be due to the club's lack of Champions League football this season. Broadcasting revenue for the quarter was £32.9m, a 23.1% and £9.9m drop on the same quarter the year before.
The figures published on Monday cover the period 1 July, 2019 to 30 September of this year.
One of the most eye-catching points on the balance sheet is the increase of net debt, from £247.2m to £384.5m, a rise of 55.5%.
The club's wage bill has dropped by 8.8% "primarily due to reductions in player salaries as a result of non-participation in the UEFA Champions League", the statement said.
United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said: "We have a clear vision in terms of football philosophy and recruitment.
"The significant investments that we have made in recent years in areas such as transfers, recruitment infrastructure, analytics and our academy are already beginning to bear fruit.
"We are very proud to be shortly approaching a milestone 4,000th game featuring an academy player, and we are particularly optimistic regarding the considerable young talent currently coming through.
"Our ultimate goal is to win trophies by playing exciting football with a team that fuses graduates from our academy with world-class acquisitions."
