In a tumultuous week for Manchester United, former player Gordon Strachan has come out and defended the Glazer family and their ownership of the club.
United fans have called for the Glazers to sell the club for several years due to a lack of success and miscommunication. With INEOS billionaire Jim Ratcliffe waiting in the wings to purchase a stake, United fans are getting restless over the ownership of their team.
Amidst United's struggles this season, the ire and frustration towards the Glazers has grown exponentially. However, former United midfielder Gordon Strachan has offered a different analysis of the situation.
"Blaming the Glazers for what is happening on the pitch, the lack of commitment from some players, is an absolute nonsense," Strachan told ICE36.
"Do you think that any of these players said to their agents before they signed for £200,000 a week, “can we meet the owners please?” It’s nonsense."
Strachan also diverted the blame for the players' performances away from the Glazers.
"It’s nonsense to think that they (the Glazers) have any impact on the levels of performance these Manchester United players are putting in."
