Gary Neville has called for the Glazers to sell Manchester United.
He said on The Overlap: “There’s £1.2bn of debt in that football club, they’re hamstrung in some ways. They’ve spent an absolute fortune, just under Man City in the last 15 years. £1.4bn on players, they’re second in the spending, but a lot of it’s the never-never.
“It’s debt, they owe hundreds of millions on players, overdraft and debt, that’s Manchester United. Surely the Glazer family over in America, in Tampa, they’re very popular over there, they go to every game, apparently, I hear, they go to all the NFL games, they’ve never been to Old Trafford hardly in 20-odd years.
“My point is, they have to sell now, enough is enough, the club is in debt, you’ve not spent a penny on the stadium, you’re now trying to borrow £2bn for a stadium you don’t know how you’ll how the hell you’ll borrow.
“You’ve got a failure of a 13, 14 years on the football side, you’ve subbed it out to somebody else, which is ridiculous, is it now at a point where they have to sell.”
