Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan has slammed the Glazers over their management of Manchester United.

Despite their on-field struggles, it was revealed during the club's quarterly financial results on Thursday that United had seen their revenue increase by 18 per cent to £538m following the return of fans to stadium.

However, United still recorded net losses of more than £2m a week at a time when their overall wage bill has risen 19 per cent to just shy of £400m - a new Premier League record.

“I would suggest that when the optics are poor, and they are poor, when you've got a football team that doesn't play very well on the pitch and isn't performing very well economically then you're going to have this situation," Jordan told talkSPORT.

“It gives the Glazer-hating fanbase – it doesn't matter how much profit they make and it doesn't matter how much success they have on the pitch by their own words – the Glazers are not for them."

The former Crystal Palace chief added: “Let's have it right, £20m in dividends, I don't care whether they get it or they don't because I don't have any vested interest in Man United but what about the £400m that those slobs on the pitch are getting paid to achieve the outcomes that they're producing?

“Why isn't the narrative about the £400m they're paying to players that clearly aren't performing? What I would have support with the Man United Supporters Trust on is not the five percent of revenues that go out in dividends, it's the diabolical football decisions the Glazers have made."
