MANCHESTER UNITED fans are raging after it was revealed owner Avram Glazer has billed £500,000 worth of flights to the club for two trips to England.
Glazer, 62, who lives in Florida, travelled over to London to attend the Red Devils’ Carabao Cup final victory over Newcastle back in February.
He then returned to England earlier this month for the Women’s FA Cup final – which they lost 1-0 to Chelsea.
According to The Athletic, these two visits – which Glazer complete through the use of private jets – each cost the club £250,000.
It is understood that security and accommodation were additional fees on top of the flights.
The report also states that Glazer’s visit to the World Cup in Qatar last year – which he went to with his family – was also put down as a business expense.

It was said to have cost the club even more than his trips to England.
This is despite Man Utd’s debts standing at around £250million, with dividends continuing to be taken out by the Glazer family.
And supporters are furious after finding out the club have been paying for Glazer’s extortionate flights.
Reacting on social media, one said: “I truly cant believe this is allowed.”

Another added: “Nah but how do you spend 250k on a trip.”
A third replied: “Scandalous. Using club debt again.”
And a fourth responded: “No shame whatsoever.”
Glazer watched the Women’s FA Cup final with his daughter Libby.
After the game, he refused to answer questions from journalists regarding the sale of the club – with the process ongoing.
Briton Sir Jim Ratcliffe is understood to have submitted the preferred bid ahead of Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani.
