Gary Neville savages the Glazers for treating Man United 'like a TOY'

A furious Gary Neville has once again ripped into Manchester United's controversial ownership and accused the Glazer family of treating the club like a 'toy'.

As exclusively reported by Mail Sport, the Glazers are set to remove United from the market, having failed to generate bids close enough to their anticipated asking price. Unsurprisingly, the dramatic U-turn has generated fury among the fanbase.

The family made it known last November that they were open to offers for either 100 per cent of the club, or a partial sale that left them with a sizeable stake. Just two serious bidders, Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, have emerged, however.

The lengthy saga has also left the interested parties frustrated over the Glazers' uncertain stance, having been given little indication of where they stand.

And Neville, who has been particularly outspoken over United's gradual drift in recent years, issued a fresh attack on the Glazers after the 3-1 defeat by Arsenal.

He is, however, confident that they will ultimately sell up.

'It's just a game for them, they think it's a toy!' Neville raged on the latest edition of his Sky podcast. 'Of course they're going to sell. They're desperate for money.

'They can't even compete on FFP [Financial Fair Play] anymore. Man Utd are talking like a midtable club when it comes to the transfer market. Man Utd turn over £500million, 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
