The big story with them has been the amount that has been flowing out of the club on finance & interest charges since the Glazers performed their leveraged purchase, currently as of these latest set of accounts stands at a net of £827,800,000!! This doesn't include dividends and salaries.
Another story making the rounds this morning which we'll have to wait another year or so to gauge if it's anything relevant is that United's third-quarter results reveal it had cash to spend £3.6m to buy back shares to prop up the share price & can pay £11m dividend to owners (78% to Glazers) on 3 June but chose to defer its £10m VAT bill last quarter for a year.
The accounts also state that they are currently being investigated by HMRC on other tax matters relating to players and third parties:
