United owner Glazer out of hospital after stroke

LONDON, Apr 24 (Reuters) Manchester United owner Malcolm Glazer has been released from hospital in Cleveland, Ohio after suffering a stroke eight days ago, the club said today.

''The stroke has impaired Mr Glazer's speech and mobility in his right arm and leg,'' the club said in a statement.

American Glazer, born in 1928, took control of Manchester United in May last year.

''On behalf of the entire Glazer family, I want to thank everyone at the Cleveland Clinic for their outstanding care,'' Joel Glazer, his son, said on the club's website.

''My father's spirits are high and doctors expect his condition to improve with rehabilitation.'' REUTERS SHB RAI0012
