Man Utd Glazer : Selling Old Trafford absolutely ridiculous
Manchester United's owners appear to be going back on a previous promise over the sale of Old Trafford.
The Daily Mail says United's owners may sell the famous stadium and lease it back if their crippling financial problems get worse.
And it has emerged that in a rarely-seen interview given to United's in-house TV station back in 2005, board member Joel Glazer promised never to interfere with the club's heritage.
Asked if they would sell and lease back Old Trafford, Glazer said: "That's absolutely ridiculous. That's been one of the frustrating things we have read about and we just want to communicate directly that it's not going to happen.
"There are absolutely no plans to do that. This is the heritage and the foundation of this club."
