The Glazer family This earned the resentment and rejection of all United fans, tired of seeing how they used the club as a broken toy. At Christmas, they said they were exploring strategic alternatives to grow it, although it is not yet known whether they are looking for a definitive sale or an investor to improve Old Trafford’s finances. In the face of rumors, there are already those who have been interested in the operation.
So far there is only one public offering by Jim Ratcliffe, owner of chemical group INEOS. The UK’s richest man, however, has a big stumbling block. UEFA regulations prevent the same owner from managing two clubs that can compete simultaneously in the same competition, and ratcliffe 100% of Nice’s shares have been acquired. In this sense, the negotiation aims to be impossible apart from other economic issues.
There are three other consortiums of private funds that are also helpful in this situation. One of them is from Qatar. However, he has no direct relationship with the emir or with QSI, owner of PSG: “al khelaifi He will not join any bid because he cannot, but he will give advice if asked,” people close to the president of the Parisian club, which does not have a license to buy United, explained to Mundo Deportivo.
Saudi Arabia is also considering the operation. At the time, a sovereign wealth fund from this Eastern state had to demonstrate its independence from the government to carry out the purchase of Newcastle. If it can be proven that the business conglomerate interested in United has no direct links to the owners of the St James’ Park club, the deal could go ahead. In the United States there is also another society that is attentive to the situation at Old Trafford.
The value of the Manchester team is approximately 4,000 million euros, and despite the fact that the Glazer family He has not openly admitted that he wants to leave the club, any economic proposal can greatly increase his benefits since they bought him in 2005 for 300 million euros. The emir of Qatar, however, is not among the four candidates that are there now and he will not be in the future.
