According to The Sun, US merchant bankers Raine, who is overseeing the sale, has set a February 17 deadline for offers. While the Glazer family is targeting an offer in the region of £ 6 billion they might have to settle for less. The latest buyer will need £2 billion to renovate Old Trafford and Carrington.
The report further states that a fee in the region of £4.1-£4.5bn seems more realistic. February 17 is viewed as a “soft” deadline for the bid to come. However, a better bid could later be lodged even after the deadline day. If Glazers feel that they have not received the right offer then they could instead sell a minority stake and retain control.
