Ten Hag hints at Man Utd debut for Marcel Sabitzer
Manchester United owners the Glazers are preparing to leave behind the £500million debts they’ve accrued during their time at the club, according to reports. The Americans are open to selling the Red Devils after 18 controversial years in charge. However, there’s still no clear frontrunner when it comes to a takeover.
The Glazers confirmed they were open to selling United back in November, saying in a statement: "The strength of Manchester United rests on the passion and loyalty of our global community of 1.1 billion fans and followers.
“As we seek to continue building on the Club’s history of success, the Board has authorised a thorough evaluation of strategic alternatives.
"We will evaluate all options to ensure that we best serve our fans and that Manchester United maximises the significant growth opportunities available to the Club today and in the future.
“Throughout this process we will remain fully focused on serving the best interests of our fans, shareholders, and various stakeholders.”
And now, The Mirror claim the Americans are ready to leave the club with their massive £500m debt once they eventually pack their bags.
