Manchester United legend Gary Neville has revealed he was snubbed by the Glazer family for a recent interview.

The Red Devils had a poor start to the Premier League season under new boss Erik ten Hag.

United lost their first two games of the season, but have since bounced back to reach third in the league table.

After Manchester United lost 4-0 to Brentford, it was the end of the world," Neville stated.

The owners were coming under massive pressure. Protests were big.

We requested to speak to the owners, first and foremost. We wanted to interview them the owners don't stand up, so we said we have to speak to someone prominent at the club.

Erik ten Hag was the one that stood up, and he went up massively in our estimations that week. Not just how he dealt with us personally, off camera, but how he answered the questions.

And they went on to win the game against Liverpool and turn it around.

It was unbelievable, and I know some United fans think we give him a really hard time we had to that week. United fans were giving the club the hardest time. He was the senior figure that the club put up, and we had to ask him those questions.

In the most difficult period I've seen a manager in recent times, he stood up and threw his chest out, and he believed he should be there."
