# Manchester City: Fans discuss Manchester United stock market plummet as arch rival value decreases

**According to a report from the [Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1256352/Manchester-United-coronavirus-the-Glazers-one-billion-pounds-news-stock-exchange), Manchester United’s stock has decreased by £1 billion amid the recent pandemic – with Manchester City supporters flocking to discuss the update on social media.**

The Express report also states that [£826 million](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1256352/Manchester-United-coronavirus-the-Glazers-one-billion-pounds-news-stock-exchange) was shaved off in just a few days, with the Glazers taking a ‘[huge blow](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1256352/Manchester-United-coronavirus-the-Glazers-one-billion-pounds-news-stock-exchange)‘ in regards to their finances.
