Man U Co-owners Give Update On Buying Club Shares
Afimag.com –
Manchester United co-owners Joel and Avram Glazer are sounding out the possibility of buying the club shares of their other four siblings.
Prospective bidders interested in a United takeover are being asked to submit their bids and proposals by February 17 in what is considered a soft deadline.
Both Joel and Avram are reluctant sellers despite frequent fan protests against their ownership. Meanwhile, United recorded their fifth win in six games on Sunday, with goals from Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho handing the Reds a 2-0 win at Leeds.
Rashford’s goal took him to eight in domestic competitions for the year 2023, which for a few hours had him as the sole top-scorer across Europe’s top five leagues since the turn of the year – Napoli’s Victor Osimhen quickly drew level later on Sunday evening. The 25-year-old’s form was enough for Ten Hag to admit he is arguably one of the best forward’s in the world at the moment.
United head to Spain on Thursday for the first-leg of their Europa League play-off against Barcelona. Ten Hag admitted prior to Sunday’s game against Leeds that the trio of Anthony Martial, Scott McTominay and Antony were all doubtful, with all three set for late fitness tests.
