Former Manchester United goalkeeper Tim Howard has been slammed after comments made about the Old Trafford club.

American Howard played for United from 2003 to 2007, making a total of 77 appearances across all competitions.

He then left to join Everton before playing for the likes of Colorado Rapids and Memphis 901.

During his time at United, Howard won the FA Cup, League Cup and the FA Community Shield.

Speaking recently to beIN Sports, Howard appeared to defend the Glazers, he said: "I think they have spent money for Manchester United in certain places and, like, ultimately the criticism of the ownership from fans - of any club but if you look at Manchester United - it is oftentimes one-sided.

"The Glazers own the football club and that in turn is a business. What I've always said, because I am an owner of a football club, is that when you spend your billions to own a business then you have the right to run it in any way you want."

Howard added: "Now that will ultimately prove good or bad business, for sure, but you have the right to run it the way you want and along with that comes criticism. But everyone understands that.

"So I think the Glazers are spending money. When you look at the squad and the amount of money that was paid for the likes of Sancho and Ronaldo and all these players, the money was spent. Was it spent wisely? Well, I'm not sure the Glazers make those decisions. So there are other parts of that question that need to be answered."


Howard's comments have not gone down well, journalist Andy Mitten wrote on social media: "Factually incorrect and disrespectful, Tim.

Advert

"No billions were spent. They took control of one of the world’s biggest sporting institutions via a controversial and highly leveraged buy out, loading debt which weighs the club down. Even some involved don’t advocate what happened."
