United fans are unhappy with the club’s policies, the performance of the Manchester United owner Glazer’s family, the club joining the Europa League and economic plans.

The Glazer family, who took over Manchester United in 2005 for Ū· 790 million, are looking to sell the club in their latest decision and end their Premier League career. That’s why the Times claimed that the Glazers were willing to sell Manchester United for a staggering 4 billion.

The Glazer family attributes the high price tag to the sale of Manchester United to United’s unique legacy and commercial traction. And buyers can consistently support large financial transactions. Manchester United recently signed a 235 million five-year deal with Chevrolet and it’s the big deals that make United so attractive.
