Manchester United supporters will hope they have made the 'nice list' this year and that Father Christmas pays a visit next week, but others may be sending a simple festive wish of completion of the club's takeover.

ManchesterWorld looks at how the combined net worth of Sir Jim and the Glazers compares with clubs from around the Premier League.
