The Glazers are biggest Manchester United problem but Erik ten Hag isn’t blameless

Another week, another defeat, another contender for Manchester United’s worst performance in living memory. There have been a lot of those this year.

The fact that United’s latest hammering, a 4-0 defeat to Brentford on Saturday evening, wasn’t even a total shock explains just how big the problem is and just how far standards have steadily dropped under the Glazer ownership of the club.

There can be no ignoring that they are the biggest problem at the club, either. Everything stems from disinterested owners who don’t invest their own money, profit despite the club’s failure on the pitch and have seen the club debt rise to almost £500million on the back of their worst ever Premier League campaign.
