The amount of debt accrued by United since the Glazer family bought the club in 2005 has been a source of great anger among the club's fans. Nevertheless, it's important to look at these figures in context. As the Uefa report highlights, the level of debt should be viewed alongside revenue and long-term assets - an area of notable strength for United. While the value of the Manchester club's debt is roughly equal to its annual revenue and only 80 per cent of assets, of more concern are clubs like QPR (480 per cent of assets and 250 per cent of revenue) and Fenerbahce (610 per cent of assets).

Man United's debt is almost equal to the annual revenue and only 80 per cent of assets, so the club are no way near any trouble of collapsing.
However what will be a concern to the English game is that they have two clubs in the Uefa's top 10 in debt and only one of them are a Premier League outfit. QPR, recently a top - flight side in 2015 before they were relegated to the Championship, are the fifth club in the most debt, above European giants AC Milan and Juventus. Financial Fair Play have loosened their restrictions on clubs breaking even, for fear of the top sides not qualifying for the Champions League.
