Summary
June 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of the Glazer family’s controversial takeover of Manchester United, which involved a £790m buyout primarily funded by debt, leading to the club incurring £604m in new liabilities. Since then, the club has paid out £1.187bn, including £815m in interest, £166m in dividends, and £197m in debt repayments, sparking ongoing protests from fans. The financial strain, compounded by additional director fees and compensation, raises questions about the club’s financial health under Glazer ownership, which has faced criticism since the takeover.
