Fury over Glazer dividends
Manchester United Supporters Trust have publicly criticised the club’s owners over impeding dividend payments totalling almost £11million.
The Glazer family are set to net the majority of the biannual payout, which is being approved despite recent figures showing the Red Devils to be nearly £500m in debt.
Posting on Twitter, the Supporters Trust said: “So today, the Glazers pay themselves the lion’s share of an £11m dividend at the end of one of the worst seasons in living memory.
“Reward for failure is poor practice in any business, and totally unacceptable given the current state of things at [Manchester] United.
“Both on the playing field and in the stadium, Manchester United is a club in dire need of investment.
“To see more money going out of the door to the owners whilst, so far this summer, seeing nothing invested into new players, is little more than an insult.”
Erik ten Hag is still to make his first new signing as Red Devils boss, with the likes of Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Juan Mata having all left for free in recent weeks.
Lionesses host Netherlands
England boss Sarina Wiegman admits tonight’s clash with her native Netherlands will be a “very special” occasion.
Wiegman, 52, enjoyed a glittering spell in charge of her home nation between 2017 and 2021, including leading them to Women’s Euro 2017 glory — the Netherlands’ first major honour in their history.
Now, she leads out her Lionesses at Elland Road in what is an intriguing warm-up contest ahead of next month’s continental showpiece.
Wiegman said: “It’s a very special game. I worked with that team for many years and it will be really nice to see them again.
“I don’t think they’ve changed that much, the players are still the same and they have the same qualities. Maybe they’re even better now.
“They’ve adjusted one or two minor things but they’re still a very good team I know pretty well. I think they’ll play their strongest XI.”
England will also face Switzerland in Zurich next Thursday before getting their Euro 2022 campaign started against Austria at Old Trafford on July 6.
