Borussia Dortmund's advance to the final four of this season's Champions League is an unexpected boost to Manchester United's FFP situation.
The German side progressed to the semi-finals after defeating Atletico Madrid 5-4 on aggregate on Tuesday night, and now face PSG for a place in the final at Wembley.
However, it is also good news for the financial situation at Man United, and new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, as the club will receive a hefty knock-on bonus as a result of Dortmund's good fortune.
A source for Manchester United told the Manchester Evening News that a 'significant' bonus has been activated with Dortmund's appearance in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Dortmund paid €3.5m (£3m) up-front to take Jadon Sancho on loan in January, with a potential €4m (£3.4m) in additional add-ons, some of which have been triggered by their European run.
