Glazer family unhappy with Ratcliffe's management

The Glazer family, majority shareholders of Manchester United, are reportedly angry with the way Jim Ratcliffe runs the club's football side. The brothers Joel and Avram Glazer serve as co-chairmen at the club, but the family is known to have little involvement in its day-to-day affairs.

Ratcliffe bought a 25 percent stake in the club in December 2023, and his company INEOS took control of United's football operations. However, despite major investment in the squad, the team continues to fall short of expectations.

Last season United finished third in the Premier League, but recently they have been constantly debated because of managerial appointments, the manager's position and internal wrangling over the role. Doubts about the coaching staff have also increased the uncertainty at the club.

The Glazer family, who hold the club's remaining shares, are reported to be dissatisfied with Ratcliffe's leadership and the way football matters are being handled. A source named in a Daily Mail report, speaking to Ian Herbert, described the situation this way: the family had never run the club like this, and it falls well short of what they were promised and what they had expected.
