Simon Jordan has defended Manchester United\u2019s Glazer family owners and has taken aim at the club\u2019s former right-back Gary Neville. The Glazers appeared to be ready to sell the Red Devils after putting them on the market last November but will now reportedly hold onto the club for the time being.<\/p>\n
United have endured an underwhelming start to the new season and are currently 11th in the Premier League table with six points from four games after suffering losses to Tottenham and Arsenal.<\/p>\n
The uncertainly off the pitch has been factored into the conversation by some pundits analysing the team\u2019s performances this term. But former Crystal Palace owner Jordan believes the excuse is wearing thin.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnless United play with a swagger and a buccaneering style, unless they look a million dollars every time they step on a pitch and start every season as if their pants are on fire, then they are the subject of intense media scrutiny about the capability of the club, the attitude of the players, their recruitment policy, what the philosophy is, the ownership model – every aspect of it,\u201d the 55-year-old wrote in the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

When Gary Neville dissects a defeat, the conversation is inevitably littered with observations about what the Glazers are doing wrong.<\/p>\n \u201cNo doubt this week’s share-price plunge will be used as an excuse for poor form on the pitch at some stage. But while they make the ultimate appointments, the Glazers don’t control the destiny of what the people they employ are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

The players and their attitude feels wrong, including their captain Bruno Fernandes who is a wonderful footballer but a terrible leader.<\/p>\n \u201cTen Hag is a decent manager with not insignificant achievements in the Netherlands but I don’t think he exudes the authority required of a man capable of leading United out of the desert they find themselves in, let alone the Herculean effort required to triumph over the imperious Pep Guardiola across the city.\u201d<\/p>\n And he added: \u201cTime will tell if Ten Hag does [have the answers] but if he doesn’t, it’s not because the Glazers own Manchester United. No matter what Mr Neville would have you believe.\u201d<\/p>\n
