Maine UTD takeover: Glazers shock reaction to UAE-consortium bid rumors

The Glazer family are reportedly “not really pushing to sell” after claims of a potential bid from a UAE-based consortium.

Man utd Over the past few years Ruben Amorim has struggled to make his mark.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe bought 27.7% of Manchester United UTD in February 2024 but things have gone downhill since the British billionaire arrived at Old Trafford.

And Saudi Arabian boxing promoter Turki Al-Sheikh caused waves among the main UTD fanbase last week when he announced that a takeover of the Premier League club was ‘advanced’.

Qatari businessman Sheikh Jassim had been linked with a full takeover of Insan Utd before the Glazers decided to sell a stake in the club to Ratcliffe.

The Glazers controversially handed Ratcliffe control of football operations in a huge cost-cutting exercise with the founder of INEO, while looking to build a new 100,000-seater stadium.

Ratcliffe could be forced to sell his shares if the Glazers accept takeover of the club It is reportedly ‘serious’ about a deal with a UAE-based consortium.

And now Football insider Transfer agent Pat O’Rourke has revealed that the Glazer family are “not really in a rush to sell”.

O’Rourke said: “There has been no word from within Manchester United that anything is happening or that anything is imminent.

“The Glazers are not really in a rush to sell Man United. They could have sold them many times in the past because there has been interest from Middle Eastern investors.

“They know what a global brand is worth and it’s been very profitable for them. I don’t think they’ll get there.

They realized that with investment from Invis, they could help take the man to the next level and reduce any protests against their ownership. So I don’t think there’s anything immediate to it.

“Obviously, United will always be an attractive proposition for investors, being such a commercial and marketable juggernaut in Europe and world football.

“So that’s why they’re always going to be interested. I’m a little skeptical about all this latest about a potential takeover.

“We’ve seen it before and nothing is really there and like I said, I don’t think the Glazers will be too quick to make a decision about selling the club.

“They seem pretty content with how things are going at the moment.”
