What are the Bloomberg reports saying about the Glazer family possibly selling Manchester United shares?
This is Thursday's United Daily Podcast. I'm Wayne Barton with today's news and rumours. The big story overnight was from Bloomberg who are carrying a story that some Glazer family members are debating whether to sell. Part or all of their stake in Manchester United. So it's one of those people familiar with the matter are reporting that several stakeholders in the family have been studying the possibility of divesting part or all of their holdings in the Premier League football club. The New York-listed shares were up 7% in extended trading. The internal talks initially centered on stake sales by some individual members who are now convincing others to try to join them, according to the reports. It's important to say that this isn't a family wide decision.
Still individuals within the family looking at selling their stakes. Obviously when the Ratcliffe bids first went in and the supposed bids from Qatar These bids were all centred around the idea that the club might be sold as a whole, but the Glazer family weren't able to agree to that.
Why might members of the Glazer family consider selling their stakes despite United’s improving finances?
So, obviously, Sergium Ratcliffe and Ineos eventually acquired around 29% of the club. United didn't comment on Reuters' request for comment, or neither could the Glazer family. So, yeah, the shares were up about 7% last night. Avram and Joel are still the executive co-chairmen. Kevin, Brian, Darcy and Edward Glazer are also still on the board. United's market cap is around 3.6 billion but because of the fact that the Glazers have got the voting control the sale price would be far higher than that. Begs the question with United's fortunes finally looking like they're turning around financially why would the individuals in the Glazer family be looking to sell? There were always the rights that were there, you know, reopening of the rights for INEOS to make a further bid down the road.
There was always that specified in the take-up, well, in the share agreement that they put in. So there was always this idea that there would be something further down the road anyway.
Which transfer rumours are dominating the headlines – is Lewis Hall linked to United and what about Mason Greenwood?
the club are facing a massive problem with how they're going to fund the redevelopment of Old Trafford and I think that's by far and away a bigger cost concern than any sort of boost that they're going to get from Champions League qualification So, yeah, and there's nothing from Ratcliffe and INEOS as well, whether or not they will be interested in acquiring further stakes, further percentage ownership. That'll be a developing story, of course, but yeah, that was a story that was breaking last night. The Times were reporting that Michael Carrick wants three central midfielders and a left-back and a striker as well. As a consequence of that, Lewis Hall has been reportedly linked to the club. He apparently wants a move to Manchester United.
United are keen. Lewis Hall... Looks like he's the top of the targets at the moment. You can expect over the next few days a few extra left backs to be thrown in for good measure.
What details does Wayne Barton share about his new book ‘Fergie: The Lost Tapes’ and its exclusive interviews?
But Lewis Hall currently top of that particular list. United would be hoping to do a deal for around £40m considering Hall wasn't in the England World Cup squad. Very highly rated he is too. but yeah Hall the only left back mentioned in today's rumours the other transfer rumour that I'm not really going to give a lot of time to over the summer but I'll mention it now and then if and when it happens I will Roma and Atletico Madrid are interested in signing Mason Greenwood from Marseille of course you know that United are due a hefty percentage of any selling fee that Marseille get for him considering they allowed him to go to Marseille for nothing basically yeah Greenwood if he moves there will be a fee coming in for United but I won't talk about that until it happens just some final news really nothing on this day to talk about no birthdays no matches because it's the summer you're not going to get very many of those
