Premier League legend Shaka Hislop was present in a talk show on ESPN alongside Craig Burley and Frank Leboeuf. The legends talked about multiple topics throughout the show. During a segment, while answering fan questions, Hislop was asked who would he start, drop, and bench if given the options from PSG, Manchester United, and Chelsea owners.
“I’ll start the better team, obviously PSG. I’m torn between Chelsea and Manchester United. Chelsea, I mean Bohely, has done a lot of damage in a short space of time. but the Glazers have been a disaster as far as Manchester United fans are concerned. So I’ll drop both.”

Former Manchester United star and owner David Beckham recently spoke about the situation in an interview with Sky Sports. The English icon claimed that while the Glazers have contributed to the club’s success, there needs to be a change.
“I think so. I think it’s purely because the fans want it. Once you lose the fans, especially at a club like Manchester United, it’s hard to get them back. Obviously, they (the Glazers) have achieved a lot. And financially, the fact we’re even talking about the numbers of what Manchester United will sell for shows the success they’ve had. But there needs to be change. We’ve all seen that, we all know that.”
