The Glazers are preparing to leave behind the £500million debts they've accrued during their time at Manchester United, it has been claimed.

The Americans are open to selling the Red Devils after 18 controversial years in charge. However, there's still no clear frontrunner when it comes to a takeover.

The Mirror says the Glazers are preparing to leave behind the £500million debts they've accrued during their time at the club, according to reports. The Americans are open to selling the Red Devils after 18 controversial years in charge. However, there's still no clear frontrunner when it comes to a takeover.

It's claimed the Glazers are hoping to pocket a huge £6billion from any sale.

But, despite that, they're planning on leaving United in a financial mess.

They've already taken around £1.6bn in dividends and management charges over the years, as well as debt repayments and share sales.

And the next owners of United will have to consider the money the club will need to pay off.
