The owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, has urged Manchester United fans to get behind the Glazers, insisting the Americans will maintain the club's success.

Jones also says Tom Hicks and George Gillett will get it right at Liverpool.

Jones says: "Do not doubt for one moment that American businessmen as successful as these gentlemen understand the culture they have bought into. They get it, all right."

On the debt of both United and Liverpool, he also told the Daily Mail: "Logically nobody should be allowed to spend $1.2billion on a stadium but I was given that credit line so I ran away with it. 'It will be the same in England. Once the stadium or the team is finished being built then, no matter what the cost, there are no more questions, no more problems."
