- Gary Neville has urged the Glazer family to sell Manchester United immediately
- The reviled American owners have been in charge for 17 years at Old Trafford

Gary Neville has angrily called on the Glazer owners to sell Manchester United immediately.
His comments come after manager Erik ten Hag‘s new era got off to the worst possible start, with United losing 2-1 against Brighton on Sunday as fans protested outside Old Trafford at the Glazers’ ownership.
And club legend Neville, speaking on Sky Sports’ Gary Neville podcast, insisted the reviled American family in charge should go – and now.

He said: ‘The time has come for the Glazer family to sell the football club. It’s now. They are the easiest team to play against in the league – that’s a massive worry. The openness of them is unbelievable. It will have been a shock to him (Ten Hag) after a promising pre-season.
‘The people above him should have known that was an unacceptable situation to hand Erik ten Hag that squad. Ten Hag will be disappointed… the reality has hit home. The coach needs time so I won’t have a go at him. And it comes a time where I won’t even have a go at the players anymore.
‘If you have a business and the people in that business can’t do the job for you then you remove them from the business. It’s abuse to keep them in the job for longer as they don’t enjoy it either. The reality is those players need replacing or supported more by better players. These things have been known for a long time.’
