Avram Glazer declined the opportunity to dispute Cristiano Ronaldo's claim that the club's owners don't care about Manchester United.
During his interview with Piers Morgan that was released last week Ronaldo questioned the Glazers and confirmed he had never spoken to a member of the family.
"The Glazers, they don't care about the club. I mean, professional sport, as you know, Manchester is a marketing club," Ronaldo said. "They will get money from the marketing - the sport, it's, they don't really care, in my opinion.

"The fans, they're always right. I think the fans should know the truth, should know that the players want the best for the club. I want the best for the club. This is why I came to Manchester United."
The Glazers have since put United up for sale and Avram was asked about Ronaldo's comments after being doorstepped by a Sky News journalist in Florida.
The reporter said: "Cristiano Ronaldo says you don't care about the club and thousands of United fans agree with him."
Glazer responded: "I'll tell you about Cristiano Ronaldo, he's a great Manchester United payer, I appreciate everything he's done for the club and I wish him the best of luck in the future, thanks very much."
Ronaldo's contract was terminated by mutual consent earlier this week following his interview with Morgan, leaving him free to find a new club.
The MEN understands United could bring forward their plans to sign a striker to January to offset Ronaldo's departure, having originally intended to recruit one in the summer.
