Ruben Amorim is just the latest poor soul to be swallowed up by the Man United soap opera 20 years on from the Glazer takeover, writes CHRIS WHEELER

Today marks the 20th anniversary of the Glazer takeover of Manchester United.

It’s unlikely there will be anything official to mark the occasion or any cause for celebration inside Old Trafford.

Two decades on and the leveraged buyout in May 2005 remains as toxic as ever among United fans who continue to protest against the American owners and the £1billion debt they have heaped upon the club.

There have been times over the last 20 years that United fans thought they had hit rock bottom, yet the irony is that it wasn’t until the Glazers handed over day-to-day running of the club to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos that it really felt as though the wheels were coming off.
