Manchester United’s owners, the Glazers, are said to be ready to sell the club to the right buyer in the wake of the European Super League collapse, according to the reports.
Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman is reportedly considering a deal to buy Manchester United from the Glazers.
Manchester United were one of the 6 clubs from England who pulled out of the breakaway European league following heavy backlash from the media and fans alike.
The club’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward had resign his position at the club after realizing that joining the ESL was ‘one of the biggest mistakes of his professional career’.
With Manchester United fans furious at the way the club is being run. The Glazers’ reputation took another hit after United expressed their intention to join the European Super League on Sunday.
Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who has been in the English media for an extended period, following an initial bid to purchase Manchester United, came close to buying Newcastle United last season, but the deal fell through.
With Manchester United valued at £3.04 billion, it means anyone interested in the purchase of the fourth most valuable club in the world, will have to pay upwards of £4 billion.
Meanwhile, the Glazers have been the owners of the most successful club in England since 2005 and fans haven’t been happy with the turn out of events at the club following the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
