Capable Hands says that United are in good shape off the pitch.

"Things are going very well," he told Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme.

"Because of the changes in the economics of the business, with the expansion of the stadium and the (new) television deal, both our revenues, and importantly, our cash profits will be up significantly.

"We can amply cover what are the long-term financing plans for the business. Our interest cover is excellent."

Nobody is interested in buying from the Glazers

"No-one has been in," he reiterated. "These things surface every six weeks but the reality is the Glazers are long-term holders of the club.

"If you look at their other investments, whether it be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, or other business investments in the States, they have held them for many, many years.

"They don't need to sell, and don't intend to sell."
