BBC Sounds, Music, Radio, Podcasts.

Hello, now I know it sounds like we're turning into a sports podcast, but it actually turns

out there is just so much football news at the moment, but we're so lucky at the BBC

that I'm surrounded by people who are great journalists and big sports fans as well.

And one of them is professional Manchester United fan and for the purposes of newscast

on the World Cup, professional Ghana fan Nick Robinson of the Today program, who's here,

hello Nick.

Right, let's speak to you as a Manchester United fan first and we'll speak to you as a

Ghana fan second.

So just to be clear, are the glazers this family actually selling Manchester United or

is it a bit more nuanced than that?

Well, I think they are, but they've not said they definitely are.

What happened is that they're bored run by the Glazer family, put a statement out saying

we're exploring options of which sale is one, but it's absolutely clear that in the last

few months, they've been trying to say, would you like to invest in the club and they haven't

managed to get the money that they need to turn old traffic into a modern stadium?

And much as I love the place and I go when I can, it's a dump compared with lots of newer

stadiums and they haven't improved things like the training ground either.

So they need money.

And I think what's in the end happening here at them is they've got as much cash out

of United as they can and that's why they anger so many of the fans, they think they don't

care about football, they don't care about Manchester, they certainly don't care about United
