Manchester United have no plans to go it alone over a new television deal.

The Guardian says despite complaints from manager Sir Alex Ferguson, there is no suggestion that the Glazers are planning to try to break away from the Premier League's collective selling model in order to maximise revenues.

In contrast to Spain, where the big two clubs do their own deals with television companies, the Premier League's income is shared out on a more equitable basis. Real Madrid recorded £129.9m in media revenues and Barcelona £145.8m, according to the 2011 Deloitte Money League. United were the Premier League's highest earners last year, with and Blackpool the lowest with £39.1m.

The Glazers are believed to be convinced of the merits of the collective model but are determined to better exploit the limited rights that clubs have within their control by signing deals with international telecom and media companies.
