Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe says he would walk away from the club if he gets "abused" by fans in the same way the Glazer family have.
The 72-year-old last year spent £1.3bn for a 28.94% stake in the club, in a deal which led to his company Ineos taking control of football operations.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, external Ratcliffe said he "doesn't mind being unpopular".
Last month, it was confirmed there would be a second round of redundancies at the club, which will result in up to 200 people losing their jobs in addition to the 250 who departed last year.
