Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gary Neville Hold Contrasting Views On The Glazers Ownership Amidst Take-over Saga
The contrasting views on the Glazers ownership are held by retired footballers Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gary Neville.After being signed by former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, Zlatan Ibrahimovic joined Manchester United, becoming a crucial part of his long career.
Already renowned in the football world, Ibrahimovic aimed to leave his mark on English soil and establish himself at Manchester United.
Under Mourinho, the struggling Manchester United side recruited the 35-year-old striker. Throughout the season, Ibrahimovic proved to be one of Manchester United’s key players, alongside Paul Pogba and Mkhitaryan, helping the team win the Carabao Cup and Europa League by defeating Southampton and Ajax.
In the EFL Cup, Ibrahimovic played a pivotal role in Manchester United’s victory over Southampton, scoring a 90-minute headed goal. Although he couldn’t participate in the Europa League final due to injury, Ibrahimovic believed his presence alone motivated the team to beat the talented young opponents in 2017.
Due to his age, Manchester United couldn’t retain Ibrahimovic for the following season. He then ventured into Major League Soccer before returning to AC Milan, where he won the scudetto before retiring.
Amidst the consistent crisis at Manchester United, even with a new manager, Zlatan Ibrahimovic holds a differing view from Gary Neville, who holds the opinion that the Glazers are a significant factor in the ongoing issues at the club.
Both individuals expressed their thoughts on the Glazers’ ownership:
Gary Neville: “I feel immense sympathy for the manager [Ten Hag], as I understand that people will demand better performance from him. However, the club has been plagued by substantial issues for the past decade.”
In an interview with @Pierscensored, Zlatan Ibrahimovic commented on the Glazers: “Regarding the current situation at #mufc, I am aware of some demonstrations calling for the owners to sell the club, but it should be noted that the owners are investing.”
Gary Neville, along with a majority of Manchester United fans, firmly believes that the Glazers are the main contributors to the continuous decline of the club.
