Manchester United are in talks with supporters to introduce a new fan share scheme that will give them the same voting rights as their owners — but the plan was met with immediate scepticism. United co-chairman Joel Glazer confirmed dialogue has begun on the initiative, which they hope to agree ahead of next season, on a virtual fans’ forum on Friday. Glazer fronted up and broke 16 years of near silence, promising greater communication with fans following United’s involvement in the European Super League. Joel Glazer met with Man United fans for the first time in a bid to build bridges with supportersThat sparked protests against the unpopular Glazer family, including one that led to the abandonment of United’s League game against Liverpool. During the event, which the Manchester United Supporters Trust (MUST) described as containing ‘a frank exchange of views’, Glazer outlined plans to create a fan advisory board to give followers a greater say.
