Manchester United Face Fan Backlash Over Glazer Family’s Excessive Spending on Private Jets for Wembley Cup Finals
The Glazer family, owners of Manchester United Football Club, have been heavily criticised for their extravagant spending on private jets to attend two cup finals at Wembley Stadium this season. According to financial expert Kieran Maguire, the Glazers’ expenditure of a whopping £500,000 shows ‘no style and no substance’.
This news comes as part of a report by The Athletic, which reveals that Avram Glazer has been responsible for the excessive spending. He attended United’s Carabao Cup triumph over Newcastle in February and also returned to Wembley for the women’s FA Cup final in May.
Maguire believes that this kind of behaviour is not representative of the kind of owners Man United needs, and has urged them to ‘show more respect for their fans’. He went on to say that this sort of spending is a demonstration of ‘arrogance’ from the Glazers and does not reflect their understanding of the club.
This recent news has sparked outrage among United supporters, who are already unhappy with the Glazers’ ownership of their beloved team. Many have called on the family to spend more money on improving the club rather than their own luxury lifestyle.
It remains to be seen what action, if any, will be taken by Manchester United in response to this news. In the meantime, fans hope that the Glazers will take their criticisms on board and start showing more respect for the club, its supporters and their own spending.
