Man United co-owner Joel Glazer still at the heart of the club's transfer business with power to VETO deals - despite not having been seen at Old Trafford in nearly six years

Manchester United co-owner Joel Glazer is still actively involved in the club's transfer business - despite having not stepped foot at Old Trafford for over half a decade.
