potential dam caused by COVID-19 is very worrying. If supporters are unable to attend matches for entirety of current season, which is t out of question, a huge section of income will be completely lost. According to Arsenal’s most recent accounts for 2018-19, that matchday section of income amounted to almost a quarter of all revenue. Manchester United too are expected to lose a big amount in tickets. However, Man United have more income than London club from commercial revenue streams. 

To combat losses of an entire season behind closed doors, if that happens to be case, club will have to make a significant reduction in costs and which is why Man United or Arsenal haven't made big-money signings in comparison to ir counterparts in Premier League.
