Man United owner suffers stroke

Mr Glazer suffered a stroke and was treated at a Florida hospital

Manchester United owner Malcolm Glazer has suffered a stroke in the US, his son Joel has confirmed.

The 78-year-old was taken to the Cleveland Clinic in Florida on Easter Sunday but has now been discharged.

A statement from his son said Mr Glazer's speech was impaired and mobility in his right arm and leg was restricted.

Manchester United said Mr Glazer's stroke would not affect the day to day running of the club.

"On behalf of the entire Glazer family, I want to thank everyone at the Cleveland Clinic for their outstanding care," said Joel Glazer.

"My father's spirits are high and doctors expect his condition to improve with rehabilitation."
