UNBELIEVABLE: Glazers willing to sell United... for a HISTORIC fee
The American family is highly questioned by the Red Devil fans, but they will only get rid of them if somebody offers this ridiculous sum
Manchester United could be getting a new owner very soon. Many Red Devils supporters are still vocal about their displeasure with the Glazer family, who have been requested to step down as the club's owners. While the Old Trafford side tries to go back to relevance in the Premier League and in Europe under Erik ten Hag, the rug could be pulled from under the Glazers very soon.
Manchester United are a long way from the glory days under Sir Alex Ferguson, but they could still command a world record figure to buy
That's because United is under the interest of some billionaire businessmen, including Sir Jim Rattcliffe, who recently openly declared his desire to buy the team and confirmed he recently held a meeting with the Glazers to discuss the possible purchase of the team.
However, for now the American family remain hesitant to sell. "Manchester United is owned by the Glazer family, whom I met. I met Joel and Avram and they are the best people I have to say. They are correct gentlemen, very nice people, and they do not want to sell the club", admitted Rattcliffe.
The Glazers would, however, would consider selling the club for a multi-million dollar value of $10 billion, according to an article published in UK newspaper The Daily Star after Rattcliffe's remarks. "It is understood the Glazers would entertain an offer in excess of $10 billion (£9 billion) and be willing to negotiate a possible sale".
Old Trafford remains one of the most iconic grounds in the world
That figure would make Manchester United not only the most expensive football club in history, nearly quadrupling the £2.5 billion Todd Boehly spent to acquire Chelsea, but the most valuable sports organization in the world, overcoming the NFL franchise Dallas Cowboys, who currently rank as the highest at $8 billion (£7 billion).
