Man Utd now ‘for sale’ as set takeover price revealed with club legend tipped to buy Glazers, Ratcliffe out
A football finance expert has revealed that Manchester United are currently “for sale”, and the Glazer family have a price to sell their remaining stakes.
The Glazer family now have a backseat at Man Utd, but they still own a majority stake in the Premier League giants.
Over the past couple of years, British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been a minority shareholder of Man Utd and has controlled footballing operations at Old Trafford, but he has also become incredibly unpopular amongst supporters.
Man Utd are a shambles from top to bottom, and the imminent sacking of head coach Michael Carrick should come as part of a wholesale overhaul of the football club to get them back on track.
And this could yet happen, with journalist Ben Jacobs recently reporting that several parties are interested in a full takeover of Man Utd, while the Glazer family are to sell the club on one condition.
Man Utd are ‘for sale’
Now, former Man City financial advisor Stefan Borson has claimed that Man Utd are currently “for sale” and there is a “process” ongoing.

Speaking on talkSPORT, Borson said: “My understanding from somebody, a senior person in the game, told me that there is a process and that they are for sale.”
It is also claimed that Borson has confirmed to the outlet that United ‘are up for sale for the small price of £5billion’.
There is said to be interest from the Middle East and other areas, but club legend Paul Scholes recently backed David Beckham to oust the Glazer family and Ratcliffe.

Now, former Liverpool star Djibril Cisse has explained why he thinks Beckham could buy Man Utd.
“Could David Beckham replace the Glazers and INEOS at Manchester United? Why not?” Cisse told Mr Gamble.
“He’s doing a good job at Inter Miami. He has an aura, he has a name, he’s David Beckham, and he carries real weight in world football.
“So yes, why not. It would be another club legend coming back. If it were him and Roy Keane, that would be amazing.”
On Keane, he continued: “Roy Keane has the weight of experience and history. He is a strong personality, and he’s an icon of the club. He wore the armband for so many years during United’s glory days, so bringing him back would be a really good thing.
“I really enjoyed working with him because he didn’t judge me on what he’d heard or what people might say about my character. He trusted me, it worked very well, and I was very disappointed when he left. He’s a coach I loved working with and whom I respect enormously.
“We’re quite similar. We’re honest, we say things straight, and once it’s said, we move on. We’re all in. When I do something, I do it properly. When I say something, I mean it. He’s like that too, and I really, really enjoyed my time with him.”
