Manchester United majority owners the Glazers have been slammed by their Tampa Bay Buccaneers players in a new report.

The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) published annual report cards from the 32 teams in the league.

A total of 1,695 players completed anonymous surveys based on their experiences at their clubs.

The Glazers were given a D+ ranking after their survey results were collected, with only five other owners receiving a worse score.

‘The Glazer family’s average rating for perceived willingness to invest in the facilities is 6.50 out of 10 from the Buccaneers players, a ranking of 27 out of 32 owners in the league,’ the report found.

‘The players feel that the Glazer family slightly contributes to a positive team culture, a rank of 27 out of 32.

‘The players feel that the Glazer family is somewhat committed to building a competitive team, a rank of 26 of the 32 NFL owners.’

Players had expressed concerns over facilities, with the team ranking 21st for their locker room and 24th for the training room of the 32 teams.

‘Players have several complaints about cleanliness, including poor ventilation and a persistent bad smell,’ the report found.

’44 per cent identify ongoing plumbing issues in the locker room’.

Players were also found to feel renovations and upgrades are needed in the room housing their hot and cold tubs.

The latest report had marked a marginal rise from the Glazers, who had been given a D- rating in last year’s survey.

The verdict of Tampa Bay Buccaneers players come amid continued criticism of the Glazers’ ownership of Manchester United.

Fans have hit out at the Glazers for failing to invest in Old Trafford, with the stadium having decayed under the American owners.

Roof leaks at the stadium – which has been known as the Theatre of Dreams – has led to Man United facing ridicule from rival fans. 

Minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is pursuing a 100,000 capacity ‘Wembley of the North’ after buying his stake in the club, while the British billionaire has backed an ongoing £50m upgrade of Man United’s Carrington training complex.

The Glazers, who retain a 69 per cent majority stake, plunged the club into debt after their buyout in 2005. Latest figures, published last week month, showed that the debt still remains on the books and currently totals £516.5m.

United have now spent more than £1billion on interest payments following the Glazer family’s leveraged buyout.

Avram Glazer confirmed earlier this month that the family would not be selling up, despite ongoing criticism over their ownership of Man United. 

The Manchester United Supporters’ Trust last week hit out at the ‘crippling debt interest payments’ and a ‘decade or more of mismanagement’ following the publication of the financial results.

Man United confirmed on Monday that a further 200 jobs at the club are at risk of redundancy – following 250 job cut last year – as part of ongoing cost-cutting measures overseen by minority owner Ratcliffe and Ineos.

The club claim the measures are needed to ensure financial sustainability and enhance operational efficiency after five years of losses.
