Glazer spends 3 hours with Man Utd fans as Salford co-owner Neville hits out

Manchester United legend Gary Neville took aim at co-owner Joel Glazer after yesterday's fans forum.

Glazer made an appearance at a fans forum meeting, breaking a near 16-year silence, to discuss the future at the club.

He insisted that there will be more representation for supporters going forward and has made interaction with fans a priority.

After spending nearly three hours giving his views and answering questions, the full minutes will not be published until next week but Glazer revealed it was an eye-opening experience.

"I was pleased to join the fans forum to listen to the views of supporters, address their questions, and share ideas on how we can improve the way we work together," he said.

"As owners, we want exactly the same thing as the fans - a successful team and a strong club - and we want to work in partnership to achieve those objectives."

However, United legend Neville, who runs Salford City of League One and saw three manager changes this past season, is still not satisfied and has conjured up a five-point plan over his complaints.

He tweeted: "My Fans Forum Comments: Should have committed to paying debt down over next 5 years.

"No dividends for 5 years. Minimum yearly investment into team for 5 years.

"Missed an opportunity to show a new OT and Training ground vision.

"More detail on fan share scheme required."
