Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag seeks meeting with Glazer family amid possible takeover

Erik ten Hag says Manchester United's pre-season tour of the United States is a "good opportunity" to meet members of the Glazer family.

The club's owners have not made a decision on the strategic review that was announced eight months ago, despite offers submitted by the Ineos Group and Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani.

The ownership situation at United is likely to drag on into the season as the six Glazer siblings who sit on the United board are unable to settle on a resolution.

The siblings all live in the United States and the brothers Bryan, Edward and Avram attended the FA Cup final at Wembley in June. Joel Glazer, the United co-chairman, has not attended a game since April 2019.

"That’s also a club decision," Ten Hag said of a possible takeover. "I’m more often in contact with them so this is a good opportunity to share ideas and we can talk informally.

"It is obvious I can give advice and recommendations but the decision is on the club."

United play against Arsenal in New Jersey on Saturday before flying to the West Coast for a week-long training camp in San Diego. United travel to Houston to face Real Madrid before their tour ends against Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas.

Despite concerns over United's transfer budget, the club have invested £107million in the signings of Mason Mount and Andre Onana but Ten Hag wants a new striker.

A move for a new No.9 could be part-financed by sales as United attempt to sell a number of senior players before the transfer window closes on September 1.
