Gary Neville has had some harsh words to say about the Glazers' ownership of Manchester United. He believes that the Americans consider the club to be a 'toy' and that their lack of investment is due to trying to comply with Financial Fair Play.
United spent £172m in the summer transfer window and they raised around £55m in player sales. Unfortunately, on deadline day, they could only sign Sergio Reguilon and Sofyan Amrabat on loan deals.
It has been reported that the Glazers are planning to take United off the market, nine months after they put the club up for sale. Neville believes this is just a ploy to get more money for the club. He also said that the way they are acting in the transfer market is like that of a 'midtable club'.
The Manchester United fans have continued to protest this season. Neville said, "It's just a game for them, they think it's a toy! Of course they're going to sell. They're desperate for money. They can't even compete on FFP anymore. Man Utd are talking like a midtable club when it comes to the transfer market."
He went on to say, "Man Utd turn over £500m, one of the highest revenue generating clubs in the world. Chelsea, Arsenal can sign big players, Man Utd are scrambling around on FFP. I know they've had losses on Covid and that could be thrown as an excuse. Today was a fantastic game but it won't change the fact that they've got owners of one of the biggest clubs in the world who are messing around with the football club and I'm not going to stop talking about it because it's a massive problem."
