According to reports, Sheikh Jassim didn’t receive a response from the Glazer family. This is regarding his most recent offer to purchase Manchester United. The Qatari billionaire reportedly submitted four bids for the club. With the latest offer being made over two weeks ago. However, the situation remains uncertain. Thus, leaving Erik ten Hag, his staff, and the players unaware of the developments and their potential impact on the club.
The ongoing saga persisted since November. However, there seems to be no resolution in sight as the Glazer family continues to hold onto their position of power at Manchester United. The situation remains unresolved. Thus, prolonging the uncertainty surrounding the ownership of the club.
The Glazer family confirmed their openness to selling Manchester United in the mentioned month. However, they have not yet reached a final decision on whether to retain ownership or proceed with a sale. Despite the interest and efforts of potential buyers such as Sheikh Jassim and Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the Glazers have yet to make a conclusive determination regarding the future of the club.
What is the future of Manchester United?
It has been suggested that in the event of a potential sale of Manchester United, the prospective buyer, Sheikh Jassim, is willing to allow Joel and Avram Glazer, the current owners. This is to retain reduced roles at Old Trafford while gradually divesting their existing shares over time. This arrangement would provide the Glazer brothers with a gradual exit strategy from the club.
Sheikh Jassim, the Qatari figure, reportedly has a desire for complete control over Manchester United. He is not considering anything less than 100% ownership. Recent reports indicate that he is not ruling out submitting a fifth bid for the club. This is fueled by a prevailing sentiment within his camp that suggests further attempts may be made to acquire Manchester United.
It is clear that a takeover announcement will not be there prior to Saturday’s FA Cup final match against Manchester City. The timing of the announcement doesn’t have any relation to the upcoming match. Hence, there is no expectation that something will occur before the event takes place.
Manchester United is keen on avoiding any distractions leading up to the FA Cup final against Manchester City. Since they aim to disrupt their rivals’ chances of achieving a treble. The focus of the club and its players is likely to be solely on the match and the task at hand. Thus, ensuring that there are no external factors that could hinder their preparation or performance.
