It has been reported that the Glazers will leave the next owners to deal with the club's £500m debts.
The Glazers recently put the Red Devils up for sale, slapping a £6billion price tag on the Premier League giants. And their deal to sell United will also come with the understanding that they can walk away from the financial mess they have created at Old Trafford.
The most recent accounts show that United have debts of just under £515m, meaning just £35m has been wiped off the £550m leveraged debt the Glazers placed on the club when they bought it in 2005.

Varane blasted over retirement
United star Raphael Varane has been slammed for his decision to retire from international duty. Former France winger Jerome Rothen has labelled the move a "disaster" as he insisted Varane had a duty to play for Les Bleus.
"I think that at this age and when you play in a club that allows you to be at a very high level, you have a duty. It is to bring your talent to your country. It is a disaster," Rothen told AS.
“You have a long history, congratulations! He won the most beautiful of competitions, the World Cup in 2018. We saw all his contribution to the last World Cup. There was skepticism because he was coming off an injury, but he performed very well."
