Potential new owners of Manchester United, the American-based Elliott Investment Management, could offer the Glazer family a chance to retain some stake in the club should they be chosen as the new investors.
This move is distinctive compared to other possible bidders, as Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani hopes to acquire full ownership while Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS aim for predominance.
As per ESPN, if Elliott are successful, they intend to supply funding rather than purchase a full takeover; allowing the Glazers – who remain unpopular amongst fans – the possibility to remain partially in charge of United.
Meanwhile, reports suggest no Saudi-backed bid is going ahead.
The Manchester United Supporters Trust have issued their own statement highlighting numerous issues with multiple bids, such as implications concerning sporting integrity due to close ties between certain investors and other European clubs; debt levels; and respect for the rights of human beings (specifically women and members of the LGBTQ+ community).
Additionally, MUST demand that any successful bidder guarantees supporting Eric Ten Hag’s position as manager of the team after previously demonstrating impressive rendition this season.
