Manchester United’s share price is down by almost 10 per cent on Monday amid concerns that the Glazers will not sell and a Financial Times report which has calculated the club is worth only £1.3bn.
Despite their Carabao Cup final success at Wembley on Sunday, United’s share price is currently down 9.6 per cent at $20.62 and has gone down 17 per cent in a week, wiping almost $1bn off the value of the club.
The Glazers are believed to have set a target price of at least £5bn for a potential sale.
Meanwhile, as of Monday afternoon bidders were still waiting to hear back from The Raine Group, who are organising the potential sale on behalf of the Glazer family, about the next steps in the process.
Only Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani and Sir Jim Ratcliffe made indicative offers to buy United before the soft deadline on February 17.
If the Glazers do want to sell, the bids from Sheikh Jassim and Ratcliffe would be given access to detailed financial information and data so they can proceed to making formal offers for the club.
Elliott Management, MSD Partners and Oaktree Capital are understood to be willing to provide financing for any bidders.
However, there are still concerns that the Glazers will not sell the club and are only seeking minority investment.
There is expected to be movement in the next few days and it could be significant that co-owner Avram Glazer was at Wembley on Sunday for United’s 2-0 win over Newcastle.
He watched on alongside former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson as Erik ten Hag sealed his first trophy as United manager.
Glazer was also part of the celebrations in the dressing room and despite the audible fan protests from the Manchester United fans, he appeared to enjoy the occasion as United secured a first piece of silverware since 2017.
Ten Hag said after the Carabao Cup final that Avram Glazer’s attendance at Wembley demonstrated his commitment to the club.
Ten Hag said: “He [Avram Glazer] was really happy for the club, as our owner.
