Exclusive: Man United in talks to sell club as Glazers’ valuation revealed

Posted by

The ownership of Manchester United could soon change hands.

That’s according to British agent Haydn Dodge, who has confirmed that the Glazer family are locked in takeover talks with US-based investment companies.

The Premier League giants have become the subject of much debate after fan discontent reached new highs earlier in the year.

Accused of prioritising personal profits over collective sporting achievements, the Glazers are arguably the league’s most unpopular owners, but following several protests which carried the message: “Glazers out!” – supporters have been left to wonder whether the club’s American owners will actually call it a day and walk away from the club.

Well, according to Dodge, even though those involved in a potential takeover are bound by non-disclosure agreements, talks are progressing behind the scenes.

“Every penny will always be scrutinised and chastised due to their public nature,” Dodge said in an exclusive interview.

“Old Trafford needs a revamp as well, so that’s a big problem and the owners know they are continually under the microscope.

“There are talks taking place to sell the club with investment companies in the United States but, as usual, everyone involved has been forced to sign non-disclosure agreements.”

Interestingly, when pressed on how much the Glazers would accept for the club, Dodge went on to say: “The Glazers’ valuation is just under £4 billion.”

Man United fans – would you be happy with another US-based owner? – Let us know what you think in the comments.

  1. If this is true, this gives us cause for hope. A four billion dollar evaluation sounds about right, given the recent sale of Chelsea and what I’ve read about how Liverpool are currently valued by Forbes.
    However, U.S. owners have a really poor record, with respect to running a football club properly, to say the least.
    But the question must be asked regarding what alternatives there are?
    No one wants a sports-washing entity to own the club, and no one wants another round of American owners that prioritise profit over on-pitch performance.
    If Sir Jim is still in the mix, then he would probably be the ideal owner as he is local and has hands-on experience owning Nice in France.
    The Glazers have been very effective with using NDAs and I imagine that is why we don’t see a lot of anti-Glazer sentiment in mainstream media or through ex-players (barring G. Neville of late) so it would not surprise me if they were silently organising a sale.
    All in all, at this point I would just be happy if they sell the club in a timely manner, but importantly sell to people who genuinely have the best interest of the club in mind.

  2. we must force the Glazers to sell, with every year that goes by, we lose our Great presence on the world stage, our power grows weak, the Glazers are sucking the life and soul out of our Great football club, we must keep the pressure on, like Old Trafford our club is crumbling, soon it will be to late, please I ask every United fan, don’t give up, do every thing you can to save the greatest football club in the world. for the Busby Babes.

  3. Don’t want another bloody American takeover, they don’t know much about football and the club and what’s best for the club , can’t trust anyone who calls football, soccer period.

  4. Ooh better don’t, things might be even worst. We don’t want US owners, We want somebody who have knowledge of football, supporting the manager and the team

  5. I hope the Glazer’s will wipe off the debts they actually accrued from their expected and humongous profits from the sale. The Theatre of dreams can therefore undergo a revamp in infrastructure and personnel.

  6. No I don’t think another USA owner would be of any use or benefit to the club and supporters
    I think just putting it up for sale just like Chelsea had to would be best so then someone with the money and footballing Brian at heart will/can invest and push us back to we’re we belong at the top
    Glory glory man United

  7. 🤣🤣 Every United fan saying there driven the owners out, Get a life, You dirty low life smack rats. You want Arabs to take over so you can buy the league’s same as City, United are finished as a football club, Soon to be just a Accrington Stanley (Who are they, Exactly) no offence to Accrington Stanley. Very old Trafford will soon be condemned for H&S reasons.
    Anyone who’s been there will agree, The out side looks smart but look deeper

    1. Are you 12 years old or some thirty something years old virgin yet to get a life?? Lol
      Either way grow the hell up, it’s only football it’s not that deep…!

    2. I’m guessing you’re either a city or Liverpool fan with that comment ? Come back when you actually know what you’re talking about, you’re an absolute disgrace to football so go crawl back under whatever rock it is you crawled out of you absolute idiot of a football fan!!!!!!

  8. Yes pleased they are selling, but to a American Investment Group will we be getting another ownership who are just like the Glazer’s who are only interested in using our Great Club as their personal Bank, we need owners who want to run our club as a Football Club and not as their own cash cow.

  9. No not happy at all if it’s going to be another US ownership. All they are interested in is how to pocket money. I can understand that if you invest you expect to make money but US ownerships make it their first priority

  10. Personally I’d love to see utd city and other big clubs all going for a premier league title surely anybody apart from the owners they have now must be better the problem is all the big money is in America or Saudi Arabia there are few that can afford to buy a premier league club of Manchester Uniteds size the American money is in the championship and league one now so that just tells you where all the money is now sadly
