The Glazers intervened in Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo's move to Everton.

Rojo's deadline day loan deal to join Everton collapsed because Joel and Avram Glazer blocked the deal at the last moment, says The Times.

The executive co-chairmen of Manchester United reportedly 'vetoed the transfer because they saw Everton as a rival club who will be competing with United for a place in the top four this season'.

The loan deal with Everton would have included an obligation to buy him at the end of the season, but fell through at the last moment.

It left Rojo furious, but he could still be on the way out of the club, with United still wanting to sell the seventh-choice central defender.
