Many Manchester United supporters are enraged by the Glazers’ ownership of the team, and their recent actions at an NFL game may have exacerbated those sentiments.
Bryan, Joel, and Avram Glazer expressed their gratitude to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ players, coaches, front office personnel, and support staff after their victory on Sunday.
The owners of Manchester United were shocked by the Bucs’ third straight victory.
The NFL team’s owners, Bryan, Joel, and Avram Glazer, were present at Lambeau Field on Sunday to watch the 2021 Super Bowl victors upset the Green Bay Packers 34–20. After the game, the players, coach, front desk staff, and support staff entered the locker room and gave each other individual congrats.
When the Bucs stormed to a 50% winning record this season and took the lead in the NFL South, many grinned. The way the Glazers have handled the Bucs may infuriate Manchester United supporters, who have a history of being neutral and have heard more and more requests to sell the team over the years.

Since Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season as manager in 2013, Old Trafford has not hosted a Premier League victory. They were the bottom team in their group for the second time ever, having only four points from six games. Since 2008, they have not prevailed in the Champions League.
Even worse, they conceded the most goals (15 total) of any Premier League team throughout the competition’s group stage, scoring the fewest points in Champions League history. Another issue that the fans have with the Glazers is the amount of debt that they have made the team accrue. Over £1 billion has been accumulated in debt by United since their controversial acquisition in 2005.Furthermore, contrary to what Cristiano Ronaldo implied in his controversial 2022 interview with Piers Morgan, the American family has not made large financial expenditures to modernize stadiums and training facilities. A few individuals associated with the 20-time league champions have voiced their displeasure with their exclusion from the directors’ box and have been charged of not keeping in regular contact with employees and fans.The bulk of Manchester United’s fan base has not been fond of the Glazer family since they purchased the team in 2005 (image: Phil Duncan/ProSports/REX/Shutterstock).
Joel Glazer last attended an Old Trafford match in 2019, the year that United lost to Barcelona 1-0 in the Champions League quarterfinals. Last season, Avram Glazer was present at Wembley Stadium for the United men’s Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals as well as the women’s FA Cup final. They go to Buccaneers games a lot. At Anfield, as the Florida team was winning against the Packers, the United team held on for a point versus Liverpool.
