Manchester United’s owners, the Glazer family, have owned the club since 2005, but Gary Neville suspects they are considering a sale following developments at other clubs
The Glazer family could follow Fenway Sports Group’s lead at Liverpool by trying to sell Manchester United in the near future, according to Gary Neville.
Liverpool’s owners FSG made headlines on Monday by releasing a statement confirming they were looking for outside investment in the club. The group said that “under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders” but for now ” FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool”.
FSG’s statement made reference to “a number of recent changes of ownership and rumours of changes in ownership at EPL clubs”, with Chelsea the obvious example after Todd Boehly’s consortium completed a £4.25billion takeover in May. Neville feels that Chelsea’s valuation has turned heads and changed the landscape overnight.
Liverpool were bought by FSG in October 2010 for £300m, while the Glazers took over United in 2005 for £790m. Neville thinks both groups will now be thinking hard about cashing in their chips.
