‘A new era’: Joel Glazer to hold first meeting with Manchester United fans

• Co-chairman to attend online fans’ forum on 4 June
• He believes this can ‘open a new era of positive dialogue’

Joel Glazer is to attend an online Manchester United fans’ forum on 4 June, the first time he will directly engage with supporters since his family bought the club in 2005. The co-chairman has said he hopes this will usher in a “new era”.

The move follows protests against the Glazers outside Old Trafford, including one that caused United’s game with Liverpool on 2 May to be postponed. The club also lost a proposed 10-year, £200m training kit sponsorship with The Hut Group because the local business has concerns about fans targeting United’s commercial partners.
