It was claimed on various Twitter accounts that Glazer had been reported as dead by a reputable media source in the United States.
However, club sources have verified this is not true and the actual source of the story was also incorrect.
Glazer has not been a particularly popular figure among United fans since his takeover of the club in 2005, which lodged a huge amount of debt next to the Red Devils.
The day-to-day running of the Old Trafford outfit has been overseen by his sons Joel, Avi and Bryan since the American owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL side suffered a stroke in April 2006.
