Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has admitted to his frustrations over the club's ownership.
Like many other United supporters, Neville was hoping to see the team sold in the coming months or years.
However, the pundit was unhappy to learn about the Glazer family telling British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe they don't want to sell United.
Ratcliffe admitted in an interview he wanted to buy United, but was told in no uncertain terms that they are not for sale.
Neville said on the matter to the Daily Mail: “I think they [United fans] will be frustrated - but I think they will also recognise that Jim Ratcliffe was very respectful towards the family.
“I think if you're going to be disrespectful to the family, they're not going to do business with you in the future.
“What he did felt like to me "look, the owners don't want to sell but they were very decent with me" and if that changes in the future, then maybe he'll be there.
“I can't see how this is sustainable, how they can't bring in investment, or a partner or sell. I just can't see it. They haven't got the money to be able to do what Manchester United need."
“United cannot continue to have a stadium like they have, when the rest of the stadiums in Europe and in the Premier League are improving on the scale that they are. It would just be absolute negligence to not get that stadium up to the level it needs," Neville added.
“That is half a billion on a refurb, a billion plus on a new stadium. Then you've got the training ground investment.
“You see what Chelsea are spending, what Arsenal have spent this year, what City have got. United need to spend big money every single year and what they spent in this summer was well above the budget that they wanted to spend - they said that on the investor call last week.
“And it leaves them perilously low on cash, with a loan that they have to continue to keep paying. The debt market isn't strong, the investment market is weak... so they are going to have to do something and they will be working on something.
“So I was a little bit frustrated that the conversation with Jim Ratcliffe wasn't extended but on the other hand they must be up to something."
