Revealed: Mark Goldbridge Pays Himself £1.5m from OMS Investments Amid Manchester United YouTube Success
Manchester United YouTuber Mark Goldbridge, whose real name is Brent Di Cesare, has built a media empire that extends far beyond his fan coverage of the Red Devils. Known for his high-energy watch-alongs and viral content on The United Stand, Goldbridge has become one of the most recognizable voices in football fan media, attracting millions of subscribers and a global following.
Recent filings reveal that Goldbridge paid himself a seven-figure sum last year through his personal company, OMS Investments Limited, taking home £1.5 million between December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024. The accounts show that the company’s current assets rose to £4.96 million in 2024, up £1.6 million from the previous year’s £3.3 million, highlighting the commercial success of his ventures.
It’s important to note, however, that OMS Investments Limited is separate from The United Stand. According to Ross Smith, Managing Director of MXI Group and Goldbridge’s representative, “OMS Investments is a separate holding company that has been operating for many years and is not connected to The United Stand.
Any payments referenced relate to internal company arrangements within OMS and are not income from, or connected to, The United Stand.”
Goldbridge’s media influence doesn’t stop with United content. His other channel, That’s Football, covers a wider range of football stories and includes watch-alongs for multiple clubs.
In August, the 46-year-old expanded his reach further by being awarded rights to broadcast a selection of Bundesliga matches for the season. This historic move made him the first content creator to secure official league broadcasting rights for a top European competition, sharing coverage with platforms such as Sky, BBC, and Amazon.
Under the deal, That’s Football will stream 20 live Friday-night Bundesliga matches and produce 34 weekly shows for the 2025/26 season.
Goldbridge’s other channel, The Overlap, featuring former professionals like Gary Neville, Roy Keane, and Jamie Carragher, also participates in broadcasting Bundesliga content in watch-along formats.
The scale of Goldbridge’s following is significant. The United Stand boasts 2.22 million subscribers, claiming to be the largest Manchester United fan media outlet in the world, while That’s Football has 1.44 million subscribers. His prominence has not been without controversy.
Former United defender Paul Parker criticized Goldbridge for “causing problems” at the club, pointing out that Goldbridge is a Nottingham Forest fan and questioning the ethics of profiting from a club he does not support.
Incidents involving United players have also drawn attention.
In April, Alejandro Garnacho faced criticism for interacting with Goldbridge’s posts, while Rasmus Hojlund’s February interview with The United Stand reportedly triggered backlash, including death threats directed at the YouTuber.
Despite this, Goldbridge continues to operate at the intersection of fan engagement and professional football media, turning viral moments into a lucrative business.
Mark Goldbridge’s story underscores how fan media, when combined with entrepreneurship, can generate substantial financial rewards while influencing the modern football conversation — for better or worse.
