Manchester United have posted a 25 per cent fall in quarterly core earnings after their absence from the Champions League and fewer home games at the start of the season hit their matchday revenue.The clubs adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the three months to September 30 fell to £31.2m from a record £41.6m a year earlier.United, who signed Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic during the summer, failed to reach the Champions League this season after finishing only fifth in the Premier League in the 2015/16 campaign, leaving them to play Europa League football this term. They also played three fewer home games at Old Trafford in the period compared to a year earlier - one each in the Premier League, in Europe and in the EFL Cup.The club said their net debt, which increased by 18 per cent from £286.2m to £337.7m, was primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on our US dollar denominated debt - as Brexit impacted on the club.Revenue came in at £120.2m, falling from £123.6m, although commercial revenue rose 4.4 per cent to £74.3m and now makes up about 62 per cent of total income, with five new sponsorship deals announced during the quarter with EA Sports, Tag Heuer, Apollo, Virgin Money and the renewal with Hong Kong Jockey Club.Broadcasting revenue was up 5.4 per cent from £27.6m to £29.1m, with the increase primarily due, United said, to the new Premier League broadcasting rights agreement.The club, controlled by the American Glazer family, maintained its revenue and profit forecasts for the 2016-17 year as a whole. They remain on course to top last years record revenues figure of £515.3m, forecasting overall revenue of between £530m and £540m for the end of the financial year. United signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba during the financial quarter Our financial results for this quarter reflect the impact of our non-participation in the UEFA Champions League, we are pleased that we remain on track to deliver record revenues for the coming year, said United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.During the quarter we added a number of top-quality players to our squad, which once again demonstrates our determination to challenge for trophies.Upgrade to Sky Sports now to watch Man Utd v Arsenal this Saturday and get the first six months half price!Also See:Rooney gets Fletchers backingTime to unleash Rashford?Henry on Jose v WengerNevs Reunited previewArky Vaughan Jersey .

The Canadiens Get: LW Thomas Vanek and a conditional fifth-round pick.PHOENIX -- Paul Clemens will go into the offseason knowing he will get a shot at making the San Diego Padres starting rotation in 2017.His final month of the season helped make that a possibility, punctuated by Sundays six-inning, four-hit, seven-strikeout performance in the Padres 3-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.Clemens, in the last game of the season, had his longest outing since going six innings in 2013 with Houston. He finished this season with a 0.83 earned run average in his last four starts.Just continue to work hard and execute pitches and everything else will take care of itself. Good team, great offense, a lot of pop, so, headed in the right direction, Clemens said. So its on me and the rest of the staff to go out and go six, seven and give up one, two runs and keep the team in the ball game. Give the team a chance every time I get the ball.Manager Andy Green liked what he saw from Clemens.Hes definitely in the mix going into spring training.

They edged the Padres by a game in the NL West to avoid finishing in last place.Daniel Hudson (3-2) earned the win.Brads had such a great year, its tough to see that happen to him, Clemens said. Hes got a rock-hard head, hes bulletproof mentally so hell be fine. Its tough. We know what the ultimate goal is and it wasnt all predicated on winning today.The Padres thought they took the lead in the top of the ninth when Ryan Schimpf hit a fly ball that was originally called a home run down the right-field line. But after a video review, it was ruled a foul ball.Brandon Drurys two-out home run off Hand tied the score 2-2 in the eighth. Hand had worked scoreless relief in 61 of 81 games this season.Luis Sardinaas doubled home Austin Hedges, whod doubled with one out, off Arizona reliever Steve Hathaway in the seventh.dddddddddddd. That gave the Padres a 2-1 lead.Arizona had a chance to tie in the bottom of the seventh when Mitch Haniger singled and took second on a sacrifice. Pinch hitter Kyle Jensen lined a single to left that was dropped by Padres left fielder Alex Dickerson, but Haniger was being held up at third base and had to stay there.Jean Segura, who entered the game batting .408 in his last 18 games, grounded into a double play to end the threat.Drury came home on a force out in the third inning to give the Diamondbacks the early lead. The Padres tied it at 1 in the fourth on Hunter Renfroes two-out double to drive in Wil Myers.Matt Koch, making his second career major league start, allowed a run and five hits in six innings, striking out three without a walk for the Diamondbacks.It was something we talked about on Friday. We have a chance to move in front of these guys, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. Lets see if we can do it. We did it. Mission accomplished.SEGURA HOPES FOR WBC CALLSegura ended up with a .319 batting average and became the first Arizona player to lead the NL in hits with 203 this season. Asked if hed be welcome the chance to play for his native Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic next March, Segura smiled.If they invite me, Im going to because its a great experience representing your country, Segura said. You dont know where youre going to be in four more years. Life is so short, you dont know when you go. So you have to take the opportunity to play today. To be a part of that is a privilege, its an honor.ENBERGS FAREWELLBefore the third inning began, the Diamondbacks paid tribute to Padres broadcaster Dick Enberg, who called his last game on Sunday.
