United revealed a turnover of £581m for the 12 months up to June 30, and a profit of £80.8m, in accounts released yesterday.
That breaks the previous records of £515.3m in turnover and £68.9m in operating profit, both of which were set last year.
But Lindelof’s fiancée Maja Nilsson feels the club are charging too much for executive boxes, which Jose Mourinho’s players can hire for between £23,940 and £81,600 per season.
Nilsson claims there is social pressure at United for players to rent boxes, and that those who do not are seen as “losers”.
“Players have the option to rent a box,” Nilsson said. “I’m not even going to tell you for how much, but a disgusting amount. If you don’t buy one, you’re considered a loser.

“But having a box is wonderful. You get your own waiter.”
Nilsson joined her partner Lindelof in Manchester when he was signed by boss Jose Mourinho from Benfica for £30.75m in June.
Lindelof has yet to play a Premier League game for Manchester United, with Mourinho saying last week the Swedish defender needed time to adjust to English football.
He featured in last week’s Champions League victory over Basel and again on Wednesday as Burton were beaten 4-1 at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup.
Nilsson was at Old Trafford for the Burton match to watch from a box, taking a picture to post on the social media website Instagram with the message: “Wouldn’t mind using this as an office every day.”
United have not responded to Nilsson’s comments, but believe their finances are in healthy shape following the release of the latest accounts, which have been boosted by a major rise in TV income as the first season of a lucrative three-year deal with Sky Sports and BT Sport was factored in.
Their revenue for 2018 is projected to be between £575m and £585m, but profits next year are likely to be reduced, according to the club’s analysis of their accounts.
United put that expected drop in profits down to an increased wage bill triggered by Champions League qualification and the fact that they will miss out on around £10m by qualifying for the tournament by winning the Europa League rather than finishing in the Premier League top four.
