Manchester United fans have shared their outrage after the Glazer family received £11m in dividends today.
Dividends are paid out by the club twice a year - in January and June - with the Glazer family receiving most of this sum due to their majority share holding in United. However, with a decline in form on the pitch as well as economic pressure off it, the Glazers' decision to take more money out of the club has infuriated supporters.
United announced in May that their debts have reached nearly £500m while earlier this month shares in the club dropped to a record low. This year's sum heading to the Glazers is 11.8 per cent up from last year.

On the pitch, the Glazers have presided over a huge drop in form since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club. Last season United flopped to their worst Premier League points tally ever and will be playing Europa League football next year after finishing sixth.
These points have led to fans venting their frustrations towards the club on Twitter. Here is what they have had to say.
