Malcolm Glazer, the Glazer family patriarch, died in 2014 after accumulating a wealth thanks to successes in real estate, banking, health care, equities, and sports clubs.

Glazer bought the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1995 and acquired Manchester United in a £790 million takeover starting in 2003.

Fans have protested United’s debt levels but the Glazer ownership has overseen five Premier League titles, three League Cup trophies, one FA Cup, one Champions League title, and one Europa League trophy.

Since Malcolm Glazer’s death, his sons Avram and Joel Glazer (both pictured) have stepped up as co-chairmen.

Most expensive signing: Paul Pogba – £89.3 million (2016)
