Glazer family
The Glazer family is an American family known for owning Manchester United, one of the most famous football clubs in the world. They acquired the club in 2005 through a controversial leveraged buyout that left the team with significant debt. Over the years, the family's ownership has been met with criticism from fans, particularly due to financial mismanagement and the burden of debt servicing. The Glazers have faced calls for divestment and protests from supporters who feel that their policies prioritize profit over sporting success.
