Gary Neville begs Glazers to sell United
‘The Glazer family have been resilient and stubborn for many, many years,’ Neville said during Sky Sports‘ Super Sunday coverage.
‘If you think about the club they picked up in 2004, it had the best stadium in the country, one of the best in Europe. The best training ground in the country, probably in Europe.
‘A team that was getting to Champions league quarter finals, semi finals, and finals regularly, and winning the league every season, or every other season.
‘You look at the club now, this stadium I know it looks great here but if you go behind the scenes it’s rusty and rotting.’
Referee Michael Oliver ‘turned away from Old Trafford’
Sky Sports reporting that Michael Oliver, the official who is set to take charge of today’s match, can’t get in to Old Trafford at present.
There is still no official word on the kick-off time being moved but with teams still at their hotels and kick-off planned for 4:30pm, it seems inevitable that at the very least we will get a delay.
