Mark Goldbridge, a prominent Manchester United YouTuber, has cultivated a significant online presence that has brought him numerous advantages.

Known off-camera as Brent Di Cesare, Goldbridge has gained widespread recognition on social media by sharing his perspectives on Manchester United over the past few years.

He has attracted a large audience by creating memorable viral moments during his live-streamed match watch-alongs on his channel, ‘The United Stand.’

Through his company, OMS Investments Limited, where he serves as the sole director, Goldbridge successfully paid himself a substantial seven-figure salary last year.

According to records from Companies House, he earned an impressive £1.5 million between December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024.

The financial statements also reveal that OMS Investments Limited’s current assets climbed to £4.96 million in 2024, marking an increase of £1.6 million from the previous year’s £3.3 million.

It is understood that OMS Investments Limited’s are not in relation to The United Stand as per a statement from Ross Smith – Managing Director of MXI Group, 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,’ they told Daily Mail Sport. 

‘Any payments referenced relate to internal company arrangements within OMS and are not income from, or connected to, The United Stand.’

As well as The United Stand, Goldbridge has another YouTube channel called ‘That’s Football’. That platform features watch-alongs involving other clubs, as well as reacting to major stories from across the sport.

And in August, the 46-year-old’s offering increased after being awarded rights to broadcast a selection of Bundesliga matches this season.

His channel and The Overlap, which features Gary Neville, Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher, have both been included as Bundesliga broadcast partners.

The two channels will share live matches throughout the season, which will be shown in watch-along formats.

‘That’s Football will stream 20 live Bundesliga matches on Friday nights as well as creating 34 weekly shows in 25/26 – the first creator channel with official league rights,’ a statement from ‘That’s Football’ read.

‘A landmark deal putting That’s Football alongside Sky, BBC and Amazon in the Bundesliga UK strategy.’

Their involvement is in addition to the BBC having free to air rights to Friday night matches for the next two seasons, which will also be shown on the Bundesliga’s own YouTube channel.

Sky Sports continue to show the Bundesliga’s Saturday evening fixture and matches between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, while Amazon will have rights to all their Sunday matches.

Goldbridge’s involvement, however, marks the first time a content creator has been awarded broadcast rights to a top European league.

His ‘The United Stand’ channel boasts 2.22million subscribers on YouTube and claims to be the biggest Man United fan media outlet in the world, while ‘That’s Football’ has 1.44m subscribers.

Goldbridge had previously been accused by former Man United defender Paul Parker of ‘causing problems’ at the club, who also claimed the content creator is a Nottingham Forest fan.

‘I don’t like what Mark Goldbridge is doing,’ Parker claimed in 2023. ‘It’s a problem. Everyone has to make a living but you have to be very, very thick skinned to make money off the back of something you don’t like.

‘He has no relationship to Man United, he is a Nottingham Forest fan. It’s an incredible skill to do that, actually… to make money on the back of something you don’t like.

‘He is attacking the club, the manager and the owners of a football club that you don’t even love. He has no inner feeling with the club and it’s a scary but incredible feeling to have to be that invested in a club that you don’t support.’

The 46-year-old, whose real name is Brent Di Cesare, ‘The United Stand’ channel boasts 2.22million subscribers on YouTube, while ‘That’s Football’ has 1.44m subscribers.

Alejandro Garnacho also landed himself in hot water after liking one of Goldbridge’s X posts in April when the YouTuber accused Erik ten Hag of ‘throwing a 19-year-old under the bus’ for taking him off at half time against Bournemouth.

Garnacho was reprimanded for his behaviour, but Ten Hag was happy to ‘move on’ from the incident after the forward apologised.

Meanwhile, Rasmus Hojlund’s decision to do an interview with The United Stand back in February sparked a backlash, with Mail Sport exclusively revealing that Goldbridge was sent death threats in the aftermath.

It was reported that some of United’s players were furious with Hojlund for granting an interview to the controversial fan channel, but the Danish striker dismissed this as ‘fake news’.
