Manchester United Supporters' Trust respond to Joel Glazer's letter

Manchester United Supporters' Trust have responded to Joel Glazer's open letter.

The latest letter addressed to Joel Glazer from MUST was sent on Monday this week, following on from the initial letter from the supporters' group which was read out at the emergency Fans’ Forum on the 30th April amid the European Super League fallout.

MUST have made their feelings clear of the Glazers' ownership of United, and they now hope this unprecedented response could lead to 'change in direction and approach by the owners', aiming to put an end to the 16 years of poor communication.

Read the MUST's full response to Joel Glazer's letter below:

"The response could in theory - and we emphasise in theory only - be a change in direction and approach by the owners versus their silence and disregard for communication over the last 16 years," MUST's statement reads.

"We will, however, determine our position based on the resulting actions rather than these words alone. We have seen empty words too many times previously. We will seek a mandate from our members and from the wider fanbase before proceeding. We only wish to engage in this process should our supporters want us to.

"The onus remains on the club to put right the problems of the past, not just the European Super League but the overall lack of communication and consultation by the owners.


"Our primary objective remains to ensure a supporter share scheme is put in place which carries equal voting rights to the shares held by the Glazer Family. This scheme would be promoted to the global fanbase and should in turn build a notable stake in the club.

"Through all this, our goals remain the same and as set out in the Open Letter to Joel Glazer. We want a new Manchester United, with a meaningful shareholding for supporters and a meaningful say in key areas. This is our objective, and there will be no let up until we get there."
