Interview requests to speak to Joel Glazer have been submitted to Manchester United and have come to nought. Glazer went 16 years without communicating with United supporters and his silence was only broken by the treacherous support for the Super League in April.
In Florida, where Glazer and his five siblings own Super Bowl champions the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Glazer has been more forthcoming. He dialled into a Zoom call with reporters last year after the Super Bowl triumph whereas in Manchester the United media department is often fighting as many fires as 10 Downing Street and access is restricted to obligatory Zooms with interim manager Ralf Rangnick.
Back in April 2019, Glazer gave a short interview to Rick Stroud, the Bucs reporter for the Tampa Bay Times . Association football and American football are sports that bear little resemblance but the preparation is comparable.
