Incubating failure? Avram Glazer's comments prove Manchester United have been bled dry
05.11.26, 16:35 7 Minute Read
Manchester United are not depending on on-pitch success to sustain their commercial power, according to comments made by Avram Glazer at a conference in London.
The Athletic report that Glazer was speaking at Deutsche Bank’s first-ever Sports Investment Conference and although no direct quote is carried in the piece, they state that Glazer ‘argued his club’s value is incubated from the effects of sporting variance in the same way that the New York Yankees and Dallas Cowboys still stand out as major global brands’.
The comments echo a 2018 comment from Ed Woodward when he told a shareholder ‘Playing performance doesn’t really have a meaningful impact on what we can do on the commercial side of the business.’
