Gary Neville has once again taken aim at the Glazer family over the way they have handled the ongoing Manchester United takeover saga, branding it "embarrassing".
The Red Devils legend has been a high-profile critic of the Glazers since retiring from football in 2011 and moving into punditry. The Glazers announced back in November that they had put the club up for sale, but more than six months on there has been no official announcement about a takeover.
"I think it's embarrassing," Neville told BBC Radio 5 Live when asked about the ongoing saga. "But it's what they have done, drag everything out. It's always in their best interests and not in the best interests of the football club.
"I thought they would wait until the end of the season and beyond the FA Cup Final so they wouldn't be subjected to protests and then it would be dealt with quite quickly. But just speaking to journalists and people around the club, there's no news.
"The idea of Manchester United Football Club with its millions of fans in this country and around the world not being updated by their owners in respect of an ownership sale is quite frankly not good enough. But it's fitting with the Glazers' ownership and how they have operated silently and away from the club over in America for the last 20 years now."
Neville also hit out at the Glazers earlier this month over the drawn-out process, negatively comparing them to Wrexham's Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. "Everyone's bored now," he said.
"Honestly, I think everyone has got the point whereby what the Glazers do, they erode every little last bit of energy out of everything that they do. The fans have had enough, they want them out and I think to be fair – it's sad, really, that it's come to that but that’s exactly how I think everybody feels.
"They [Reynolds and McElhenney] turn up there. They've done it well at Wrexham and they've got obviously a long way to go to get to probably where they want to be, Championship, Premier League, and probably that might take three years, eight years, 12 years, who knows."
Ineos chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani are the two frontrunners to buy United, but the Glazers may opt for minority investment instead with several investment firms also in the running.
