Avram Glazer makes rare appearance at Wembley and slammed as ‘coward’ for reaction to Man Utd takeover question
AVRAM GLAZER remained tight-lipped on the sale of Manchester United as he made a rare public appearance at Wembley on Sunday.
The 62-year-old was in attendance to watch United’s defeat to Chelsea in the Women’s FA Cup final.
It is the second time that members of the Glazer family have been at a game this term having also witnessed the club’s men beat Newcastle at the capital stadium to lift the Carabao Cup in February.
Britain’s richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe is still awaiting confirmation he has the green light to takeover at Old Trafford.
Sun Sport revealed last week how brothers Joel and Avram Glazer, co-chairmen at United, have indicated that Ineos’ offer for a stake is their preferred choice rather than a full sale to Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad al-Thani.
And, much to the anger of the club’s supporters, it has been reported that both brothers want to remain at United as part of the deal.
Avram’s appearance yesterday has now provided a strong suggestion that both he and Joel will be remaining as part of the new regime by keeping smaller shares for three years.
The American, whose family have been in control of United for 18 years, watched on as Sam Kerr scored the only goal of the game for the Blues on Sunday.
Following the game, a host of reporters were waiting for post-match interviews in the tunnel area and spotted him walking past, at which point one asked: “How long’s the sale gonna take?”
Avram simply ignored the question and walked straight by.

After the clip of him ignoring the question went viral, one fan blasted: “Avram Glazer is a coward!”
Another wrote: “We won’t stand for Avram Glazer’s lack of leadership and commitment to the club.”
A fellow Red Devil tweeted: “Avram Glazer needs to step up and take responsibility for the mess he’s created at It’s time for change and accountability!”
