One of Manchester United's biggest backers has criticised the club for inflicting 'reputational damage' in the wake of last month's foiled plan to establish a European Super League.
Nick Train, who manages the UK Equity Fund Lindsell Train, expressed alarm in face-to-face meetings with representatives of the controlling Glazer family as discontent over the proposals rumbles on.
Lindsell Train owns 27 per cent of United's New York-listed Class A shares, comprising around seven per cent of the club, while it also has a significant interest in Juventus, who are yet to extricate themselves from the breakaway, and Celtic.
