Following the tragic loss of the "Double Red Club", Manchester United fans are afraid to usher in another blow. According to the British media, due to the potential buyer's offer failed to touch the 6 billion pounds threshold set by the Glasha family, the Red Devils may be forced to shelve the sale of the plan. It is reported that the Glasha family seems to be inclined to give up the pursuit of results, and instead seek to profit from the club's expansion in the commercial field.
Since the Glasha family announced the sale of Manchester United, the market has reacted enthusiastically, with Britain's richest man Ratcliffe and the Qatar consortium showing their willingness to buy, and having launched negotiations on the deal. However, the price tag of £6 billion proposed by the Glasha family is too high, and previous reports have pointed out that the Qatari consortium believes that £4.5 billion is already the limit, and there are huge differences between the two sides.
The sale of Manchester United was scheduled to be completed by May 31st to allow the new owners to take over smoothly. Previously it was suggested that an agreement could be reached as soon as the end of March, but now the chances of success seem almost nil. According to The Sun, the Glasha family are about to withdraw their plans for the sale and are instead looking to pursue business opportunities in other areas.
The fans' biggest concern is that once the sale plan is withdrawn, the Glasha family may no longer focus on United's competitive performance and instead focus on commercial profitability. Sources say the Glasha family is working with the US-based Rennes Group, planning to bring in new money and use United's brand influence to enter markets such as digital sales, video games and merchandise licensing. If this scenario comes true, the future of Manchester United could be bleak.
