The Glazer family did not take dividend payments from Manchester United for the first time in six years partly due to the club’s huge transfer spend this summer.
The Glazers, who bought Man United for £790million back in 2005, put the Old Trafford club on the market last month. Mirror Football understands the family is looking for as much as £8billion to sell - a fee that eclipses the £2.5bn Todd Boehly paid for Chelsea.
United invested £225.4million in signings in the last transfer window including the arrivals of midfielder Casemiro from Real Madrid, Ajax duo Lisandro Martinez and Anthony, and Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord. Major investment was required after a glut of summer exits from the squad.
