About Manchester United acquisition rumors and reports

Due to the remarks of the head of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority, rumors about the sale of Manchester United have become rampant. The person in charge said that the acquisition of Manchester United has entered an advanced stage, and also hinted that there is a consortium from the United Arab Emirates behind it.

As soon as this news came out, people's attention once again focused on the "mandatory tag-along right" clause in Sir Ratcliffe's minority stake acquisition contract. The clause makes it clear that before February 2027, if an investor offers more than Ratcliffe's offer of $33 per share, Ratcliffe will not be able to prevent the Glazer family from selling the club. Based on a price of US$33 per share, Manchester United is valued at approximately US$5.7 billion, which has also become the lowest sale price of Manchester United before February 2027.

However, it was revealed that the Glazer family’s offer was much higher than this figure. They proposed that they would only consider selling the club completely if the purchase price exceeds US$6.6 billion (approximately 5 billion pounds). Previously, the Qatari consortium led by Sheikh Jassim had made an offer of up to US$6.06 billion, but it still failed to meet the requirements of the Glazer family.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Glazer family seems to be in no rush to sell Manchester United. They are happy to let Ratcliffe take on the responsibility of upgrading the club, such as upgrading the Carrington base and promoting the construction of a new stadium worth 2 billion pounds, while they continue to enjoy the financial benefits.

In addition, any change in club ownership will have a direct impact on the future of head coach Amorim. Usually, the arrival of a new boss often means management adjustments, and Amorim's current record is really unsatisfactory.

In the first 34 Premier League games after Amorim took charge of Manchester United, he only scored 37 points. Not only did the team miss the European war, it was even extremely embarrassingly eliminated from the League Cup by the English second team Grimsby. Although Ratcliffe and the club's current senior management have invested a lot in Amorim, firing him at this time will be "very embarrassing" for all parties, but the new boss will most likely not have such concerns.
