Manchester United co-owner, Avram Glazer breaks his silence on putting the club up for sale; speaks on Cristiano Ronaldo's exit

 Manchester United co-owner, Avram Glazer has broken his silence after putting the club up for sale.

The 62-year-old said they decided to seek 'strategic alternatives' for the club before thanking the departing Cristiano Ronaldo for all he has done for the club.

He was confronted in the street by a Sky News reporter in Palm Beach, Florida, after the shocking announcement on Tuesday November 22, that the Glazers were inviting fresh investment at United and were potentially open to a sale.

 

They value the Old Trafford club at upwards of £5billion. 

 

Asked why now was the right time, Glazer replied: 'As we announced yesterday, the board went through a process and it has decided it is going to look at different strategic alternatives and that's what we're doing.'

 

When it was put to Glazer that most United fans feel his family should have sold the club years ago, he answered: 'Once again, we are going through a process, we will look at all different strategic alternatives and we will see where it leads us. 

'I appreciate you talking to me tonight and I'm going to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving.'

 

Asked about the acrimonious departure of Ronaldo, Glazer said: 'I will tell you about Cristiano Ronaldo, he is a great Manchester United player and I appreciate everything he has done for the club and I wish him the best of luck in the future.'

 

The decision to sell the club came after Ronaldo, 37, criticized the Glazer family during his explosive interview with Piers Morgan, with the comments leading to his departure from United on Tuesday.

 

He said: 'The Glazers, they don't care about the cub. I mean, professional sport, as you know, Manchester is a marketing club.

 

'They will get money from the marketing - the sport, it's, they don't really care, in my opinion.

 

'The fans, they're always right. I think the fans should know the truth, should know that the players want the best for the club.

 

'I want the best for the club. This why I came to Manchester United.'

THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY

  THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY     In 1996, Graphic Design Legend Paul Rand declared “the greatest living graphic designer”—it was yet another ‘feather in the cap’ for him, and one of many during a long and colorful career that would make any present day designer envious. But more so when the acclamation comes from a visionary like Steve Jobs. In fact, it was Paul Rand’s dedication to treating design as a function of business that helped Steve Jobs’ Apple to become the design-leading powerhouse that it is today.   In 1986, Rand was hired to create a logo for Jobs, reportedly for a fee of $100,000. But long before that—back in the 1950s—he had already begun to pave the way for design systems, and the notion of corporate identity.   Many consider Rand to be the father of modern graphic design—the man who introduced the idea that commercial art could, and should, have both a strong visual appeal and an important functional role in the world of mo...

How to Travel Abroad

  Traveling abroad can be a strikingly simple endeavor when you're prepared. Do your research and study the destination; plan your itinerary and arrange the logistics; and pack for the weather, culture, and activities that you expect.

A well-kept guidebook might make a nice souvenir, but it may not be worth the extra weight of carrying around information that you don't need. Travel blogs, photos, and recommendations that you can find online can also be h...

Peptic ulcers are any ulcers that affect both the stomach and small intestines. Stomach ulcers occur when the thick layer of mucus that protects your stomach from digestive juices is reduced.
