Manchester United has lost its former owner, Malcolm Glazer, the billionaire who led a controversial
takeover of club. He died at aged 85. The Glazer family purchased
United for £790m in May 2005 amid protests from the Premier League club’s fans.
Man U won five Premier League titles and the Champions League under his
ownership.
The New York-born American’s sons, Joel and Avram, took over
the day-to-day running of the club after their father suffered a stroke in
April 2006.
The Glazer family retains a 90% share in United – split
equally among Glazer’s six children – with 10% listed on the New York Stock
Exchange.
