Manchester United continue to foot the bills for the Glazers and need them out as soon as possible.

The only negative moment on a memorable Carabao Cup final win earlier this year was seeing co-owner Avram Glazer in attendance.

Now it has emerged that Manchester United have been footing his travel bills to the stadium, and again for the recent Women’s FA Cup final, per The Athletic.

Even you had already assumed this was the case, the cost involved is staggering.

Manchester United pay Avram Glazer’s travel

The Athletic report United paid £250,000 for a private jet for Avram Glazer to attend the Carabao Cup final, with the same method of transport used for the Women’s FA Cup final.

That’s £500,000 charged to Manchester United for Glazer’s moment of vanity, and expect the same when the FA Cup final comes around in a fortnight.

On top of that, ‘security and accommodation’ are described as additional undisclosed fees.

You would also suspect, that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Manchester United fans are desperate for the Glazers to leave the club, and they are dragging their heels over an exit.

There are two bidders for United right now, plus minority investment options, and no decision has been made, to the chagrin of everybody involved.

Manchester United need an owner who can afford to pay his own way to Wembley, and isn’t reliant on charging the club for it.

While dividends to shareholders were put on hold amid the sale process earlier this year, the Glazers have regularly benefitted from £11 million payouts, per ESPN, which the Manchester United Supporter’s Trust last year described as ‘reward for failure’.
