Valuing Manchester United stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Manchester United's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Manchester United's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 97x. In other words, Manchester United shares trade at around 97x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Manchester United's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1556.6. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Manchester United's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

There are currently 674,690 Manchester United shares held short by investors – that's known as Manchester United's "short interest". This figure is 18.2% down from 824,371 last month.
There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting Manchester United shares can be evaluated.
Manchester United's "short interest ratio" (SIR) is the quantity of Manchester United shares currently shorted divided by the average quantity of Manchester United shares traded daily (recently around 132812.99212598). Manchester United's SIR currently stands at 5.08. In other words for every 100,000 Manchester United shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5080 shares are currently held short.
However Manchester United's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of Manchester United shares, or, against the total number of tradable Manchester United shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case Manchester United's short interest could be expressed as 0% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 Manchester United shares in existence, roughly 0 shares are currently held short) or 0.0788% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable Manchester United shares, roughly 79 shares are currently held short).
A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against Manchester United.
