Glazers make millions with Cristiano-Ronaldo

Association football clubs all over the world sometimes retire squad numbers to recognise gamers loyal service, most as a memorial after their fatality.

For Kevin and Edward Glazer, it was already worthwhile that Manchester United Cristiano has retired Ronaldo. The two US billionaires together hold the majority of the English record champion together with their siblings, but now give eight percent of the shares. At the New York Stock Exchange, you have offered a package of sales around 162 million euros for sale. And the Guardian has calculated that this was still worth 21.3 million euros in the morning of 27 August - the day at which Manunited Cristiano Ronaldo was committed to the second time. Since then, the value of a share has therefore increased by 1.94 euros. The club itself receives no proceeds from the sale. That was already in March, when Avram Glazer sold shares worth around 82 million euros. Now the Glazers still hold 69 percent of the Red Devils, whose fans have been severely in criticism since the 2005 acquisition.
