The Executive Co-Chairman said Manchester United wanted to work with the Forum “to come up with an ambitious package of measures which will transform their relationship with fans and strengthen the club for the long-term”.

The statement comes a few days after fan protests at Old Trafford. The reaction from those protests was mixed but there was support for the fans from the likes of Gary Neville. 

Joel Glazer said in a statement. You can read the full story on the Man United website here. 

We have supported sustained investment in the team over many years, and that will continue this summer.

We recognise that we will need to significantly increase investment in Old Trafford and our training complex to ensure that the club’s facilities remain among the best in Europe.

The Executive Co-Chairman was writing in response to a letter from Fans’ Forum members last week which had called for increased consultation with fans following the controversy around the abandoned plans for a European Super League. 

He reiterated his apology “for the mistakes that were made” when we initially agreed to join 11 other leading European clubs in backing the new competition, before quickly withdrawing their support.

This was the story we released in the aftermath of the protests looking at the social media response. 

The Manchester United Supporters Trust had also urged Joel Glazer to engage more with United fans. 

There has also been suggestions that Manchester United fans are planning another protest before the rearranged Liverpool game on 13th May.
