Solhekol explains how the Glazers have cost United £1.5 billion since 2005, due to the fact that they bought the Red Devils with a £520 million loan rather than paying themselves

As a result of that, the club itself has been repaying the interest, charges and dividends to shareholders.

One of the other key points to be taken away from the footage above is the fact that when the Glazer family first arrived, United were debt free. Now, their gross debt is valued at £536 million.

Solhekol also points out that the scenes last Sunday have nothing to do with the club's dip in quality following Sir Alex Ferguson's departure in 2013, reminding viewers that similar protests were held in 2010 when the team was winning trophies for fun.
