Simon Jordan backs the Glazers as he raises Manchester United ownership question

Simon Jordan has defended the Glazers as he questioned who would replace the Manchester United owners at the club should they leave.

Avram Glazer, on only his third visit to Old Trafford in the last three years, watched United lose their Premier League curtain-raiser to Brighton in what was a sobering reality check for the club's hierarchy. The boos rang out loudly at both half-time and full-time as Erik ten Hag's first competitive game in England ended in defeat.

Last season, the Reds recorded their lowest Premier League points total of all time and it was clear that the squad desperately needed to be strengthened. With just a few weeks to go until the end of the transfer window however, United are still chasing players in their attempt to bolster their squad ahead of the September 1 deadline.
