When Manchester United “return from their pre-season tour,” some “clarification” about the takeover controversy is “expected,” according to reports.<\/p>\n
Since November of last year, the Red Devils have been for sale. At the time, the Glazer family declared that they would “evaluate all options” and that a full takeover was an option.<\/p>\n
There have been three formal rounds of bidding since then. Sir Jim Ratcliffe of INEOS and Sheikh Jassim of Qatar have emerged as the front-runners to take over as the club’s principal shareholders, although it is still unclear who will prevail in the takeover battle.<\/p>\n
Sheikh Jassim is only interested in a buyout that involves a 100% ownership, but Ratcliffe is reportedly willing to retain the Glazer family with a reduced holding of about 20%.<\/p>\n
Initially, it was thought that a takeover would be completed in the early months of 2023, however this goal has since been shown to be unattainable.<\/p>\n
The “bad news” for Manchester United, according to writer Ben Jacobs, is that “the transfer window could potentially close or be very close to closing before any prospective new owner – should they come in – has any influence,” earlier this month.<\/p>\n
