At last! Man Utd owners the Glazers ‘name price’ to sell club

Manchester United are finally up for sale as owners, the Glazer family, continue to face pressure from fans to sell the club, with Dubai now named among the potentially interested parties alongside Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

According to Mirror publication in the UK, the Glazer family have slapped a minimum £3.75billion price tag on the club.

In recent time, multiple fan protests have taken place  since the start of the new season, as supporters join Gary Neville in pleading for the American family to hand over the keys to Old Trafford, having acquired the club for £790million in 2005, loading it with debt via a leveraged buyout.

Britain’s richest man and boyhood fan Sir Jim Ratcliffe recently made headlines by declaring interest in buying his beloved team and now moguls from Dubai are believed to be weighing up a swoop.

It’s already been widely reported that the Glazers would consider selling a small stake in the club, but now a price tag for a full takeover has emerged for the much-maligned Glazers to part ways with their prised assets after 17 tumultuous years.
