Rooney: 'I think the Glazers have done a fantastic job, they've allowed managers to bring in players they want'

Wayne Rooney has commented on the Glazer family's ownership of the club and made some remarks that may not go down so well with the Old Trafford faithful.

"Firstly, I think the Glazers have done a fantastic job, they've been at the club for, well they signed me in 2004, so they've been at the club for 20 years now and I think they've always allowed managers to bring the players in they want," Rooney told ESPN.

"I think it's clear the fans want change and obviously it looks like the Glazers are open for that change to come with putting the club up for sale and receiving the bids they have received, so hopefully they get the right people in. And it's people who are going to try to move the club forward."

It's odd hearing this from a United legend like Rooney, who in fact, had cited the Glazers' lack of ambition back when he put in a transfer request while he was a player at the club.
