DC United coach Rooney: Glazers have been FANTASTIC for Man Utd

DC United coach Wayne Rooney is full of praise for the Glazers and their ownership of Manchester United.

The Glazers took charge at United in 2005 and failed to win over fans after racking up around £500million of debt.

But times look set to change at Old Trafford after it was announced the Glazers are looking to sell.

Bids have come in from around the world, with British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and a Qatari group at the forefront.

Rooney said: “Firstly, I think the Glazers have done a fantastic job, they've been at the club for, well they signed me in 2004, so they've been at the club for 20 years now and I think they've always allowed managers to bring the players in they want.

"I think it's clear the fans want change and obviously it looks like the Glazers are open for that change to come with putting the club up for sale and receiving the bids they have received, so hopefully they get the right people in.

“And it's people who are going to try to move the club forward."
