Manchester United's majority owners, the Glazer family, are reportedly furious with Sir Jim Ratcliffe regarding his running of the club's football operations. According to a report citing a source close to the Glazers, the American owners consider Ratcliffe's tenure a travesty and claim he has pursued a strategy completely different from what was promised during negotiations.
