The future ownership of Manchester United remains a hot topic amongst football fans and experts alike. While recent reports suggest that the Glazers are confident of securing outside investment and remaining as owners, reporter Ben Jacobs has claimed that an outright sale is still the most likely and cleanest scenario for the club.
Potential buyers Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have previously submitted world-record bids in the region of £5bn, but may need to increase their offers closer to the Glazers’ £6bn asking price. Jassim is reportedly committed to buying 100% of the club and is expected to submit a third offer, which could lead to an exciting future for United supporters who have long protested against the Glazers’ ownership.
With the deadline for offers looming on Friday, the situation is certainly complex and ever-changing. But one thing is for certain – Manchester United and their supporters will be watching closely to see what the future holds for their beloved club.
