Manchester United supporters are beginning to get seriously annoyed with the situation at the head of their club. The Glazer family wants to sell, but has still not decided between Ineos’ offer and that of Qatar.
Weeks pass, and there is no indication that the Red Devils will have a new owner in the coming days. After receiving several increasingly high offers from Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Glazer family decided nothing. Enough to slow down and even bring the Manchester United transfer window to a complete stop, which drives the fans crazy and must seriously annoy Erik ten Hag, the Mancunian manager wanting reinforcements. This Saturday, Ben Jacobs, who follows this file for CBS, affirms that the American owners of the English club have just refused the request issued by the two takeover candidates, who wanted the Glazers to position themselves and then enter into exclusive negotiations with the candidate. retained. In other words, Ineos and Qatar want the suspense to end, even if it means having the preferred buyer discuss the terms of the sale, but they have been dismissed. However, not everything is blocked.
Manchester United soon set on its future
This remains my understanding. Both Nine Two Foundation & INEOS have been told in process letters exclusivity won’t be granted. There’s still no plans to exclusively negotiate with one group. This isn’t a negative. Means both groups being readied to ‘win’ pending a green light. https://t.co/hMqrofiusg

Ben Jacobs specifies that this refusal is not necessarily penalizing, because the discussions have already gone very far with Jim Ratcliffe and Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani. In other words, entering into exclusive negotiations no longer really makes sense, and once the Glazer family has made its choice, there will only be details to settle. However, the uncertainty annoys the regulars of Old Trafford, which the CBS journalist acknowledges. ” Fans are understandably growing frustrated with the lack of news on the matter and that uncertainty could clearly ruin Manchester United’s summer. But, the lack of an announcement doesn’t mean things aren’t moving behind the scenes. “Warns the Premier League specialist.
