Follow the most recent developments in the planned acquisition of Man United.
The infamous Glazer family has been the subject of increased criticism and pressure as Manchester United’s owners continue to deliberate over two bids to acquire the Premier League powerhouses.
The Americans have not yet agreed to proposals put forth by Sheikh Jassim and British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and United is still at a crossroads off the field. Supporters will therefore have to continue to wait for a little while longer.
Here are the most recent takeover-related headlines and news stories from Old Trafford and beyond.
The Glazer family has recently come under attack from United icon Gary Neville on social networking platform X.
Neville attacked the American owners on Saturday after witnessing his former team lose to Brighton. The pundit stated, in part, “Oh and yes, the Glazers are accountable. It is how things work.
You are a business owner, thus both good and bad things depend on you! In every respect, they inherited the best.
They have presided over ten years of ineffectiveness both on and off the field. They established the club’s pervasive culture of avarice, indiscipline, uncertainty, and indecision. The club should be sold as quickly and effectively as possible, allowing at least the off-the-field issues to be resolved in a way that changes the tone and ethos.
Football is unpredictable, so success on the field can be uneven and cyclical, but if the owners’ direction and leadership are bang on, you have a better chance of succeeding there.
