Bids to buy Manchester United are to be submitted to US bank Raine by Friday
MANCHESTER (UNITED KINGDOM) – Prospective new owners of Manchester United have until Friday to reveal their interest in buying one of the world’s biggest clubs, with a rumoured bid from Qatar sending shockwaves through European football.
United’s current American owners, the Glazer family, opened the door to fresh investment in the English giants in November, either in the form of a minority stake or a full takeover.
Deeply unpopular with supporters since they saddled the club with huge debts in a pound sterling790 million ($961m) leveraged takeover in 2005, the Glazers are ready to cash out their chips at an enormous profit.
