We lost Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton last month and as per reports by The Sun, Man United owners Glazer family will not attend the funeral of the former legend due to fears of abuse from Man United fans. We are all aware of the current situation at Man United. Fans are angry on Glazers and they want a new owner. Fans even come up with posters against Glazers in the ground.
Man United legend passed away last month at the age of 86 following a fall at a care home. He was fighting dementia for some time prior to his passing. The football world will now celebrate his glory and his contribution to the game on Monday in Manchester. As per detail, the funeral cortege will head to Old Trafford in the afternoon time, before it makes its way to Manchester Cathedral.
Now, reports are saying that the Glazers are likely to miss out this event and they will be absent. They actually want to attend this funeral but they have a fear of Man United fans who can offer a big outrage there. Man United fans want to see them leave and end their ownership of the club. It’s a tough situation for both clubs and fans regarding the ownership. The drama has continued from the last one year.
Manchester United were asked about this event but they declined to comment. Glazers had a discussion with senior officials at Manchester United. All have come on final thing is they should avoid attending the ceremony so they can avoid outrage from Man United fans. They want to avoid any negative coverage which might distract other fans from paying tribute to Sir Bobby.
Sir Bobby Charlton was a football legend and was a director at the club and ever-present at games until his dementia diagnosis in 2020. If somehow, one person makes an appearance at the ceremony then Joel Glazer will represent the ownership. It will be a big day for all football fans who have seen the glorious career of Bobby sir.
The Glazer family want to sell the club and they are attempting for it from the past year. They are yet to reach a final destination. It become a long and boring Netflix series without any conclusion. It’s likely that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will prepare to claim 25 per cent of the club. Fans have their own emotions and they want to see the end of the ownership saga.
