Glazers going nowhere, warns Gill, as Red Knights ride in for United

MANCHESTER UNITED chief executive David Gill yesterday told the Red Knights group of wealthy fans they are wasting their time trying to buy the club.

Gill insisted the Glazer family do not want to sell the club, saying they are running it “in the right way”, defending the owners’ £709 million (€781 million) total debt and questioned the practicality of the Red Knights’ plans for a takeover.

He also branded merchant banker Keith Harris, a key member of the group who has called for a fan boycott of United matches, as a “publicity seeker” and was scathing about his track record in football takeovers.
