Some Manchester United supporters staged an anti-Glazer protest outside the club's London offices on Friday, just hours after it was confirmed that they were set to receive a major cash injection from the club.

It emerged on Friday morning that the six members of the Glazer family who have shares in the club were set to receive a large portion of the £11million being handed out through dividends.

The dividends are paid twice a year, in January and June, with the majority of them going to the Glazers. Last year, the dividends were worth £10.7million to United shareholders, with around £8million of that sum going to the Glazer family.

The Glazers, who continue to find themselves under enormous pressure from the supporters, have often taken large sums of money out of the club, and it was confirmed, only last month, that United's debts had risen to nearly £500million in their latest financial accounts, up by 11.8 per cent from the previous year.
