JAKARTA Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville accused the Glazer family of being responsible for the problems and bad start of the Red Devils in the 2023-2024 season.

United have lost in three of the five opening matches of the new Premier League season. Finally, Erik ten Hag's team was arrested 1-3 by Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford, Saturday (16/9) night WIB.

United are still slumped in 13th place in the standings, nine points behind Manchester City at the top, and they will face a difficult match against Bayern Munich in the Champions League in the middle of next week.

This condition made Gary Neville blame the Glazer family again, claiming that the US owner had 'implemented a greed culture, poor discipline, doubt and uncertainty' at the club.

"I just got back from Old Trafford and you have to be always optimistic before the game, but the most worrying thing is that what we watched in the end was not a surprise," Neville tweeted on X's social media account.

This is not because a lack of effort or a group of players are not interested. This is a team that is well-beaten by well-trained opponents and knows what they are doing. It's that simple."

The Glazer family is in charge. That's how it works. You have a business and everything good and bad is in your hands! They inherit the best in all fields. They've been watching ten years of mediocre things off the pitch and on the pitch.

They created a greed culture, poor discipline, doubt, and uncertainty within the club. It would be better if they sold the club at a certain speed and efficiency and let at least things off the pitch be corrected properly. Reset the tone and culture," Neville said.

Last November, the Glazer family signaled to sell the 20-time British champions. However, they decided to stay in control of the club almost a year later. Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Radcliffe remain favorites to buy United, if the Glazer family eventually approves the sale.

The latest report claims that the Glazer family is considering withdrawing United from the market, but both Sheikh Jassim and Ratcliffe are considered to remain patient in their efforts to complete the takeover of Manchester United.
