Glazers know some fans need convincing

Twelve months on from their hugely controversial £790m (€1.2bn) takeover of Manchester United, the Glazer family admit most supporters are undecided over whether they have been a force for good.

While the new owners privately insist United are currently in a far healthier financial state than they would have been had the club remained a PLC, who admitted they spent all this season’s transfer budget on Wayne Rooney in 2004, they are also aware a large degree of scepticism still exists among the rank and file support who have not transferred their allegiance to rebel outfit FC United.
