Selling Man United is an honorable thing to do - Gary Neville to Glazer family

“If you think about the club they picked up in 2004, it had the best stadium in the country, one of the best in Europe, it had the best training ground in this country, and probably one of the best in Europe" - Neville revealed.

Selling Man United is an honorable thing to do - Gary Neville to Glazer family
Man United fans invade pitch

 Manchester United former player, Gary Neville has challenged the Glazer family to heed the fans pleas and sell Manchester United to avoid supporters causing more than what was witnessed on Sunday.

According to the former captain of the Red Devils, putting up the club for sale is the honourable thing to do having degraded the club they took in 2004 to a level where Manchester United is no more competitive and appealing.

The major protest on Sunday led the biggest rival game in English football; Manchester United and Liverpool after supporters stormed Old Trafford and invaded the field a few minutes to kickoff and expressed their contentment.

The anger of the fans was fueled by the recent European Super League initiative undertaken by team owners of the top six English clubs which was heavily criticized by the Premier League, FIFA and UEFA.

Gary speaking on talkSPORTS has called on all football fans to rally behind the club’s protests since “what happened two weeks ago was really dangerous for English football.”

“This is a consequence of the Manchester United owners' actions two weeks ago. There is a general distrust and dislike of the owners, but they weren't protesting two or three weeks ago,” Neville said on talkSPORTS.

“My view is quite simply that they're going to make a fortune if they sell the club and if they were to put it up for sale now I think the time would be right, and it would be the honourable thing to do.

“There's huge discontent, not just across Manchester United fans, but I think for football fans up and down the country and I think they are just saying enough is enough.

“The Glazer family have been resilient and stubborn for many, many years. I think they are struggling to meet the financial demands that this club needs and have done for some time.

“If you think about the club they picked up in 2004, it had the best stadium in the country, one of the best in Europe, it had the best training ground in this country, and probably one of the best in Europe.

“It had a team that was consistently getting to Champions League quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals regularly and winning the league every season or every other season.

“If you look at the club now, this stadium I know it looks great here but if you go behind the scenes it is rusting and rotten. If you look at the training ground it's probably not even the top five in this country, they haven't got to a Champions League semi-final for 10 years.

“We haven't won a league here at Manchester United for eight years. The land around the ground is undeveloped, dormant and derelict while every other club seems to be developing the facilities and the fan experience.

“All football fans should unite today behind what Manchester United fans have done today because what happened two weeks ago was really dangerous for English football.
