The gap between the reported asking price set by the Glazers for the sale of Manchester United and the theoretical value of the club is "enormous", according to one set of financial experts.
Football Benchmark, who provide in-depth understanding and analysis of the business of football, state that despite the sharp surge in share price following the announcement of the sale, the reported sale price of £5-7billion is still significantly higher than their valuation of the club.
United fans know that despite hearing the news they have waited so long for, there is still a long way to go before any deal can be finalised. A host of names have been linked to take over as the new owners at Old Trafford, yet the rumoured price that the Glazers are holding out for could prove to be a vital stumbling block.
