The English Premier League may be over for the season but the off-season drama has only just begun for top-flight club Manchester United. Amidst transfer news, fans are dealing with their tumultuous relationship with the Glazer family, who took over as the owners of the club in 2005. It has worsened especially after the European Super League (ESL) fiasco. While the owners of the Red Devils initially agreed to be a part of the league, they opted out shortly after facing criticism from fans around the world. 

A few days ago, Joel Glazer, who is in charge of day-to-day operations, spoke to the Fan's Forum and said they will be considering opening up shares for fans. He said they want to work together with the fans to come up with the best solution. He added that it is going to be complicated because they are a public company and the club has many shareholders but they are ready to start, British GQ reported.
