As the Federal Reserve meet comes into focus midweek, UK soccer team, listed in New York, Manchester United plc (NYSE:MANU) is a trending stock in pre-market trade.
Shares are flat at $34.40 in pre-market as the analysis of yesterday's results begins.
The company expects another year of record-breaking revenues at its famous Old Trafford venue despite a difficult start to the Premier League season under manager, so-called "special one" Jose Mourinho.
The club, which is owned by the US Glazer family - said revenue is expected to be between £615mln and £630mln for the year to June 2019.
In the financial year just gone, revenues rose to £590million for the 12-month period ending 30 June 2018 – an increase of 1.5% on the previous year.
That represented the highest revenue achieved by a world club, despite a slowdown in broadcast and commercial revenues in its final quarter.
In the news today, Mourinho's relationship with star player Paul Pogba, who he stripped of the vice-captaincy, is garnering headlines.
Also in pre-market news, Square Inc (NYSE:SQ) shares nudged up 2.6% to stand at $97.80, having surged almost 11% on the day yesterday.
The financial services and payment specialist has introduced a new mobile app to help firms manage the payroll.

Also in pre-market trade New York, going the other way was Cintas Corp (NASDAQ:CTAS), which dropped 2.80% to stand at $207 despite a strong earnings report that beat expectations.
For the first quarter, the group posted earnings per share of $1.93, while analysts had estimated $1.81 per share.

The homebuilder reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.87, higher than the $0.77, which had been estimated by Wall Street analysts.
