This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on August 23, 2013, as previously amended (the “Statement”), relating to Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0005 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”) of Manchester United plc, a Cayman Islands company (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Statement.

ITEM 2.        Identity and Background. Item 2 of the Statement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: This statement is being filed by the following persons (each a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”): SCG Global Investment Holdings LLC (“SCG”); BGGT Holdings LLC (“BGGT”); Bryan G. Glazer Irrevocable Exempt Trust (the “Trust”); and Bryan G. Glazer (the “Trustee”). The Trust is organized in the State of Nevada. BGGT and SCG are organized in the State of Delaware. The Trustee is a citizen of the United States of America and is the trustee of the Trust. The business address for each of the Reporting Persons is c/o Manchester United plc, Sir Matt Busby Way, Old Trafford, Manchester, England, M16 0RA. The present principal occupation of the Trustee is Director of the Issuer and Co-Chairman of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. BGGT and SCG were formed for the purposes of holding shares of the Issuer, and the sole member of each is the Trust. During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4 of the Statement is amended and supplemented by inserting the following information: On September 3, 2021, the LLC terminated its previously disclosed line of credit agreement with CPPIB Credit Investments Inc. and Albacore Partners I Investment Holdings B DAC (the “Agreement”). As a result, all shares of the Issuer provided as security pursuant to the Agreement were released and the Agreement was terminated according to its terms.

ITEM 6. Contract, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. Item 6 of the Statement is amended and supplemented as follows: Item 4 above summarizes certain updates to the Agreement and the related security shares and is incorporated herein by reference. On September 3, 2021, the Trust provided 11,000,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer as security pursuant to a line of credit agreement to replace the Agreement. Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning the transfer or voting of such securities, finder’s fees joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
