Manchester United fans have branded “indefensible and totally unacceptable” a dividend payment of £11million paid to the club's owners the Glazers.
The Glazers, including executive co-chairmen Joel and Avram, are set to receive the bulk of the £11m payment, which was made to United shareholders yesterday. The huge pay-out comes at the end of United's worst season in Premier League history, one in which they finished sixth, missing out on the Champions League with their lowest ever points total.
United have also failed to make a signing so far this summer, despite promising to back new manager Erik ten Hag with the necessary funds to make the team competitive again.
