Alright, so apparently there’s some buzz going around that the Glazer family might be considering selling Manchester United before February 2027. According to reports, Saudi government official Turki Al-Sheikh hinted that the Red Devils are on the verge of welcoming a new investor on board. He didn’t spill all the beans about the deal, but he did mention on X that he’s excited about the potential new owner and hopes they do a better job than the previous ones.
Back in February 2024, the Glazers sold around 27.7 percent of Man Utd to Sir Jim Ratcliffe, giving him control over football operations at the club. Despite interest from Sheikh Jassim, the American owners went with a minority ownership offer instead of a full-on takeover. Since Ratcliffe took over, there have been some controversial cost-cutting measures that have affected everyone from club legends to staff and fans.
Ratcliffe has big plans for the club, aiming to win the Premier League by 2028 and move Man Utd to a massive 100,000-seater stadium as soon as possible. However, there’s now a possibility that he might be bought out, with Al-Sheikh making it clear that he’s not the investor in question. He clarified his message on X, emphasizing that he’s just a fan who wants to see a deal happen, even if it may not actually come to fruition.
