BBC:

Jonathan Legard presents a special report on Manchester United's owners, the Glazer family.

The report includes the first British interview with Malcolm Glazer, albeit a short one, in which Glazer refers to Manchester United as a 'franchise' and refuses to answer United fans' concerns about the future.

Glazer says: "We are enjoying it [owning United] greatly, it is a wonderful franchise, we just love it. I just want to say hello to the fans. It is a great franchise, it will do just great."

The report, from Florida, includes interviews with the Manchester United chief executive David Gill, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' general manager Bruce Allen and the team's head coach, Jon Gruden.
