(Video) Michael Crick describes Glazers 17-years at Manchester United as “like an occupation”

Founder of the Manchester United Supporters Trust, Michael Crick, has reacted to the news that the Glazer family are exploring a sale of the club.

Like any true Manchester United fan, Crick was delighted with the news after seeing fans spend the past 17-years protesting against the Glazer ownership.

Crick says hearing the news is “like winning the European Cup again” and I couldn’t agree more.

The Glazers have put a stain on our football club since they arrived in 2005, inflicting savage debt upon Manchester United which remains to this day.

Crick also describes their 17-years at the club as being similar to “an occupation” during an appearance on First Edition.
