The Premier League side was put on sale in the month of November and the final takeover is yet to be finalized with multiple buyers interested. The Manchester United fans haven’t been impressed with American owners, The Glazers family, since their takeover.
There have been multiple interests coming in to buy Manchester United since the club was put on sale. Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatari Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani are the front runners to become the next owners of the club. However, Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to buy the shares owned by Glazers and the club will be in debt. On the other hand, the Qatari owners have offered to acquire 100% in the club and make it debt free.

Glazers are waiting for the offers to meet the asking price and they are yet to announce the next owners. Amid this, United fans fear that Glazers might eventually sell a minority stake in the club and remain as the main owners. Carlyle’s offer are similar to what fans don’t want.
Manchester United Supporters’ Trust has called on the Glazers to quickly conclude their sale of the club, as they want clarity for the next season. The Trust has pointed out at the Glazers and have asked not to delay further as Erik ten Hag needs to know how much funds will be available in the summer.
