The Glazer family's asking price for Manchester United is more than double what the club is actually worth, according to a new report from Football Benchmark.
The analysts say that despite a sharp rise in share price following last month's announcement that the club's owners are open to offers, their initial reports suggested that the Glazers have an asking price of around £6billion, which would be more than double the record £2.5bn an American-led consortium paid to purchase Chelsea earlier this year.
But Football Benchmark, despite acknowledging that United are the second most valuable club in the world, claim that the club's present worth is about £2.4bn.
