Mark Goldbridge's Financial Success: A Deep Dive into His YouTube Ventures
Mark Goldbridge's Financial Achievements
Brent Di Cesare, known as YouTuber Mark Goldbridge, has reportedly compensated himself an impressive £1.5 million through his company, OMS Investments Limited, as per recent filings at Companies House. The Manchester United content creator, famous for his passionate watch-along commentary on 'The United Stand,' continues to enhance his influence and wealth through various ventures.
At 46 years old, Goldbridge serves as the sole director of OMS Investments Limited. Financial records indicate that he earned £1.5 million between December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024. The company's assets also saw a significant increase, rising from £3.3 million in 2023 to £4.96 million in 2024.
His representatives emphasized that OMS Investments operates independently from 'The United Stand,' with no direct connection to the revenues generated by the fan channel. Ross Smith, Managing Director of MXI Group, clarified that the payments were internal arrangements unrelated to Goldbridge's YouTube activities.
Despite this clarification, Goldbridge's success is closely linked to his online presence. 'The United Stand' boasts 2.22 million subscribers, positioning itself as the largest Manchester United fan media outlet worldwide. Additionally, his second channel, 'That’s Football,' has attracted 1.44 million subscribers and covers broader football topics. In August, Goldbridge further expanded his reach by acquiring rights to broadcast Bundesliga matches.
His channel has partnered with Sky, BBC, and Amazon as official UK broadcasters, streaming 20 live Friday night games and producing 34 weekly shows for the 2025/26 season. This partnership marks a historic moment as it is the first instance of a creator channel being granted official league rights.
Goldbridge's rise has not been without controversy. Former Manchester United defender Paul Parker accused him of creating issues within the club, claiming he is a Nottingham Forest supporter profiting from his critiques of United. Parker argued that Goldbridge's lack of emotional investment in the club makes his criticisms of players and management problematic. His outspoken nature has also attracted attention from current players.
Alejandro Garnacho faced reprimand after liking one of Goldbridge's posts that criticized Erik ten Hag for substituting him against Bournemouth. Rasmus Hojlund encountered backlash for appearing on 'The United Stand,' with reports of player unrest and even death threats directed at Goldbridge, although Hojlund dismissed claims of dressing room discontent as 'fake news.'
Despite the criticism, Goldbridge's influence continues to expand. His partnership with Bundesliga places him alongside mainstream broadcasters, while his fan channels maintain high engagement levels. The seven-figure salary disclosed in company filings underscores his ability to monetize content effectively, highlighting both the profitability of his ventures and the extensive reach he has within football media.
