Manchester United owner Avram Glazer made a rare visit to Old Trafford to watch their poor defeat at the hands of Brighton on Sunday.
Glazer is an executive co-chairman and a director at United but is notoriously hands-off in his approach to running the team. The 61-year-old American has been involved in the boardroom at the club since the Glazer’s takeover in 2005, yet is never seen in Manchester by fans who are extremely critical of the billionaire family’s approach.
Avram is a lot less visible than his brother Joel Glazer, who was forced to front up following United’s involvement in the hugely unpopular and ultimately doomed European Super League breakaway in 2021. But the older Glazer brother – who also owns NFL side Tampa Bay Buccaneers – was pictured at Old Trafford on Sunday for an afternoon he surely won’t have enjoyed.
