Glazers pledge not to go it alone on Man United TV deal

MANCHESTER United’s new owners will not attempt to broker a breakaway TV deal, they revealed yesterday.

Malcolm Glazer’s sons, Joel, Avi and Bryan met at Football Association headquarters in Soho Square yesterday afternoon to offer ‘the truth’ behind their plans for United following completion of a hugely controversial £790 million (€1.18 billion) takeover.

The Glazers reaffirmed their commitment to the collective Premier League TV deal, insisted they were not a threat to the stable future of the game and also promised to support a government-backed healthy eating campaign.
