Man United fans could see their long-standing wish come true very soon, as the Glazer family will receive offers ahead of selling the Premier League club after 18 years in charge of the Red Devils.
The Glazer family have owned United since 2005, but their relationship with the club’s supporters has been highly toxic over the years, with the Old Trafford faithful campaigning for them to sell the club.
That time has potentially arrived, as Friday is the flexible deadline for investors to submit offers to buy Man United, with US investment banking firm Raine Group facilitating the sale.
Heading into deadline day, there are four main contenders set to bid for the Premier League giants.

The person Man United fans would probably want to see take control of their club is the CEO of chemical group INEOS, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is the richest man in Britain and a lifelong United fan who was born in Manchester. Ratcliffe is also the owner of Ligue 1 side Nice, and that experience would also be welcomed by the Manchester club’s supporters.
The other contenders according to the Mirror are a consortium backed by Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Elon Musk.
All three would bring controversy to Man United, therefore Ratcliffe’s offer is the best and safest option; Whoever wins, United fans will be grateful that the Glazers have finally left their club.
