Man Utd pay money to have the Glazer family own the club | Michael Regan/Getty Images
Manchester United are one of the richest football clubs around with one of the highest incomes of any in the world, raking in £627m in the last season unaffected by the coronavirus pandemic. But they are not free to reinvest all of that money back into the club because of the Glazer family.
Those who have criticised United fans for protesting against the Glazers’ ownership of the club don’t understand the major reasons behind it. On the surface, the detractors see that there has been a £1bn net spend in the transfer market and suggest United supporters should be happy.
