Manchester United owner, Joel Glazer says he will back Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this summer to strengthen his current squad.

Relations between stands and boardroom reached a new low in recent months and were at boiling the point when a group of supporters broke into Old Trafford and caused disruption to the fixture list in an effort to show their displeasure at the ownership – much of which stemmed from trying to break into the European Super League.

Glazer, 50, made his first Fan's Forum appearance in 15 years and said: “Our goal is to win every competition we compete in, and we will continue to invest in our Academy and in the transfer market to support the manager in an effort to meet the club’s goals. 

“As a club we have devoted a lot of time and resources over the last several years updating and further developing our vast global scouting network to adapt to the modern football environment. This is a project that should provide a foundation for long-term success in the years to come.”

Glazer also said the money would be invested into the stadium.

“In addition, as you all know, we have also been focused on growing and developing our women’s team in line with the traditions and values of the club, and we are committed to continuing that process.

“Old Trafford is at the heart of Manchester United and while we have spent over £100m over the last 10 years on infrastructure projects, we will now accelerate the process of planning much more significant investment and upgrades to the stadium…rest assured, we will consult with supporters throughout the process to end up with a result we can all be proud of.

“The same goes for our training ground.  Preliminary planning work is already under way and there will be significant funding available to further enhance our facilities and ensure they remain world-class.”
