Impending sale of Manchester United – podcast #268

Manchester United and our World Cup break. Manchester United co-owner Avram Glazer confronted over Cristiano Ronaldo exit and club sale : Glazer, 62, was confronted near his home in West Palm Beach, Florida and asked why now was the right time to sell Manchester United; “The board decided it’s going to look at different strategic alternatives – we’ll see where that leads us,” he said; United valued at around £5bn.

He said: “As we announced yesterday, the board went through a process and decided it’s going to look at different strategic alternatives – and that’s what we’re doing.

He repeated the answer when questioned why the club had not been sold earlier and added: “We’ll see where that leads us.”

The Glazers were reportedly furious at the remarks and Ronaldo this week left United immediately by mutual consent.

But Avram Glazer refused to be drawn on the striker’s claim – echoed by many fans – that his family “don’t care about the club”.

He told Sky News: “Well, I’ll tell you about Cristiano Ronaldo – he’s a great Manchester United player, I appreciate everything he’s done for the club and I wish him the best luck in the future.”

Glazers’ your time is up. Sell up and move on, NOW! GLAZERS OUT!!
