Why are manholes round?
Round manholes provide access to underground utilities or passages. The heavy round cover just fits into a heavy ring. Things could be square or rectangular, but with a round cover, the cover cannot fall into the hole in any position. With a square or rectangular cover, there is a way to situate the cover so it partially covers the hole and then can fall in. Not so with the circular one.
What might happen if manholes are any shape but round?
Manholes are round to prevent them from falling back into the hole. They are manufactured with an indention around the edges to allow them to fit flush with the surface. If they were square (or any shape other than round), it would be possible to lift and turn it so that it the cover fell into the hole -- both expensive to replace and very dangerous to anybody down below.

How many manhole covers on UK roads?
There are at least as many covers as there are finished manholes. Most manholes are already covered, and there are covers in stock ready to replace them, and covers in the factory ready to ship out. Unfinished manholes are relatively rare, but safety practices would probably require that random holes in a construction site should be covered by something. If you knew the proportion of unfinished manholes to stored and unused covers, you might be confident enough to boil it down to "There are at least as many covers as there are manholes."
