DBasia.news – The demonstration by Manchester United supporters finally made the Glazer family, as the club owner, react. The businessman from the United States is now ready to meet the demands of the Red Devils lovers.
As is known, Manchester United’s decision to join the European Super League angered supporters. Club officials are considered only concerned with money and ignore the long history of their idol club.
Manchester United have indeed canceled their participation in the illegal competition. However, the fans’ anger remained out of control.
Local supporters demanded that the Glazer family resign through demonstrations on a number of occasions. The climax occurred last week when they broke through Old Trafford and delayed the Manchester United match against Liverpool.
The Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) submitted four demands to Glazer. This concerns share ownership, communication, achievements, and renovations of Old Trafford and the club’s training center.
In fact, MUST’s demands have reached the ears of club officials. Joel Glazer even gave an answer in a letter.
In essence, Joel appreciated the supporters’ demands. He promised to immediately fulfill the request.
“In particular, I would like to acknowledge the need for change, with deeper consultation with you as our main fan representative body on important issues,” Joel wrote in a letter released on the club’s official website.
“Our top priority is always to compete for the trophy by playing entertaining and team football consisting of high-quality recruits and some of the world’s best local talent. Under Ole, we feel we are really on the right track.”
“We also recognize that it is necessary to significantly increase investment in Old Trafford and our training complex to ensure that the club’s facilities remain among the best in Europe,” he continued.
In addition, Joel also responded to supporters’ accusations against the Glazer family who were considered to have made Manchester United a money-printing machine. He emphatically denied it.
“I want to assure you that my family and I care deeply about Manchester United and feel a deep responsibility to protect and enhance the team’s strength for the long term, while respecting its values and traditions,” wrote Joel again.
Supporters Response
The promise of heaven that was breathed by Joel Glazer did not just satisfy Manchester United supporters. They asked the club owner to immediately prove his words.
“We will determine our position based on the resulting actions rather than just words because we have seen empty words too many times before. We will seek mandates from our members and from the wider fan base before proceeding,” read the official MUST statement.
MUST is rumored to be holding another demonstration at Old Trafford on May 13. On the same date, Manchester United will postpone the match against Liverpool.
