The Glazers will receive a bumper dividend on Friday from their Manchester United shareholding.

United are to pay a dividend to shareholders of nearly £11m on Friday, with the majority of that going to the club's owners, the Glazer family, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Dividends are paid twice a year, in January and June, with the majority of those dividends being paid to the six Glazer family members who hold shares in the club.

Last year, the dividends were worth £10.7m to shareholders, with the Glazers accepting around £8m of that.

In May, it was announced that United's debts had risen to nearly £500m in their latest financial accounts, an increase of 11.8 per cent from last year.
