Glazer family divided over potential sale of Manchester United with fan protests planned ahead of Liverpool clash

Owners of Manchester United, the Glazer family, are reportedly divided on their willingness to sell the club, according to reports. In the face of intensifying anger and resentment from United fans, it is believed the Glazers are considering selling United. The American ownership have become increasingly unpopular amongst supporters having first bought shares in the club back in 2003.

Ad However, there could be a fly in the ointment with reports from The Athletic suggesting the six siblings are 'at odds with each other' about whether to sell — further uncertainty that will not go down well with the United faithful.

However, it has been suggested that he needs persuading to walk away while the remainder of the family are divided on their next move.

One of many criticisms directed at the Glazers is their use of loans to acquire shares in the club which, in turn, has resulted in piling debts. There has also been a top-heavy approach to investment, with large amounts of spending on the squad leaving sectors such as stadium infrastructure starved of much-needed funds. The club's Old Trafford home is historically one of the most iconic football stadiums in the world.
